The Pumpkin Patch Train

Last week-end we journeyed to Cooperstown for a train ride.  Lacie, Julz and Jett's very first!  It was a warm Saturday and the train was never going to be named the "Express!" (pretty sure we could have walked faster)  There were lots of kiddos..which the train ride was intended to entice and lots of teeth gritting parents and grands but it was fun.  We stopped at the Dreams Park where they had imported hundreds of pumpkins for picking!  We had cider and cookies and then boarded the crazy train back to the station in Milford. Upon return, Jeff and the kids tracked down the pennies they had placed on the tracks.....they found 2!
We loaded up and headed 5 minutes up the road to the August Lodge. What a great place. A rustic     lodge on 172 acres. Only 25 rooms and a pool and hot tub (outside,) a spa, horseshoes, playground and tetherball.. They had a bonfire every night and a continental breakfast every morning.. A bit pricey but a wonderful place for the kids to roam. I would go back!!!
We headed to Mel's 22 in downtown Cooperstown for dinner. A nice place but a tad crowded and Jett was getting tired but he was a trooper... After dinner we went back to the Lodge where we had a great bon fire, listened to the owls, the train and Lace saw a shooting star.
We headed home after breakfast and Lee and Jeff went to a turkey shoot and brought home some fowl! It was a nice get-away!
