"Robbers"



For the Fisher Reunion, we met in Heber to ride the Heber Creeper train.  The scenery was beautiful with the mountains, Deer Creek Reservoir, and Provo Canyon.  One of the most memorable parts was when the train was "robbed".  When the train stopped, we could see the robbers in the cars ahead of us and told all the kids that the train robbers were coming.  I didn't think Madelyn would understand what was happening, but she did get quite the worried looks on her face as Todd got it on camera.


 Halfway during the ride, we stopped at Vivian Park to turn around.  Todd took the nephews to go put their feet in the river.

 Madelyn took a nap since the ride was nice and relaxing.

 We saw some wildlife-two bucks, a large bird-an eagle? and a medium size cat-bobcat?


After the train ride, we ate lunch at Diary Keen and cooled off with an ice cream shake. Yum!
Then we headed to Echo Campgrounds for the evening.  We played games, visited, and had hobo dinners and s'mores.  Madelyn's favorite part was playing with all the rocks. She loved moving them from one spot to another, putting them into cups, and then into the cooler cup holders.  We had a wonderful time all together.
But what I thought was interesting is that the next day (and this is still continuing), Maddie talked about the "robbers".  She says "hat", "boots", and "eye", to describe the train robbers wearing cowboy hats and boots.  One robber had an eye patch on so he only had one eye.  "Robbers" is her new favorite word.
