Father's Day Fun



We celebrated Chris's first Father's Day by going to the Hesston Steam Museum in Hesston, Indiana. We had such a wonderful time that we are already planning on taking a second trip back out that way soon. I was expecting this boring museum where all you do is walk around and look at things, but it was not that at all. It was exciting with real steam train rides, a working saw mill, an active Black Smith house, and beautiful picnic area (with LOTS of shady areas to beat the heat!)

We already know that Chris has a crazy obsession with trains...an admiration that I think Katelyn inherited from him. She was tickled to be inside the old train caboose.

There are 3 trains that you can ride. (And the rides are a great length.) We only rode the "big" train, but they also have a Medium train which has different types of cars to sit in. (For example some were caged like an animal pin.) And then there is also a "miniature" train. It is for kids and adults, but it is so tiny you sit with your knees real high if you are tall. It's like a toy train that carries passengers!

Chris wanted to be sure we got a picture of the MACK truck for his daddy!

Anyone else see a bit of a resemblance? I caught them both just sitting like this watching the trains go by.

Father's Day was a very fun filled day for us. We started it off by visiting a church we've never been to, came home for sandwiches, went to Hesston's, stopped at the meat market on our way home, and had one of Chris's co-workers and his family over for burgers. Chris got to grill, make his delicious Macaroni salad, and ride the 4-wheeler. He was one happy fella, and Katelyn is proud of her daddy!
