Train Pictures
Denver Station stop. We got out, used restrooms, washed our hands really well and got some fresh air.
Hi!
I love this picture. Ewan sat with his arm around Evelyn in the observation car.
Through the tunnel! We bought prizes for the kids to give to them throughout the trip. The tunnel prizes were glow in the dark bracelets and spinning light wand things. They loved it!
Sleeping on the train...
Picture Overload!
Okay, so I finally downloaded all the pictures from my phone. Are you ready for picture overload?

Slaughter
We just witnessed the slaughtering of the cows in our backyard. Okay, we did not witness everything, but enough. We heard gun shots and looked out our back window to see the black steers lying on the ground twitching. It was shocking. I have seen this before. I worked in a meat plant for over a year...it's just that you expect it there. And, our girls saw.
Karyn's response...oh, poor cow. Evelyn's response...good! Now he can eat the cow! Although, Evelyn looked like she was trying not to cry and started acting very hyper. Then, she asked if we could get a cow and kill it for meat. She had crazy eyes. I think she was a bit in shock and I was worried about her. It made me want to cry.
So, now our blinds are closed after explaining that the guy was going to bleed the cows and rip the skin off. I don't think it is a bad thing to watch, it was just shocking and we weren't quite prepared. I would have explained more to my kids. Wish we could have had a warning...something. And, why couldn't they have done it closer to their house, instead of right by ours. Maybe pulling all the weeds back there was not a good idea. Anyway....I will post a picture.
