Who knew trains could be so fun!!




























































What a perfect day to go see the trains...Tyler and Maddox absolutely loved it, and so did all the adults. It is great to see the kids have so much fun and really the whole park is never too crowded, expensive, or too much to handle. It is just right for the younger kids. The train of course is the main attraction which circles around the park and has a bit of action with the cowboys and Indians. Although I enjoyed it there were kids crying on the train because the fighting was too much for them...lucky we raise our kids around violence on TV so they are used to it and aren't too shocked. LOL. Just kidding...that is my only complaint about Tweetsie Park WAS the violence in the shows that they put on during the train ride.They could make it a little more friendly and maybe focused on trade or something between the Cowboys and Indians. I am sure they did not fight ALL the time!! Also I was wondering about the Co2 that that Coal Train was letting out. Completely not environmentally friendly...but some of the charm of the park is the fact that it is a "real" coal train.

It is a beautiful park located at Blowing Rock, NC. Such a beautiful part of North Carolina. It just feels like you have run away to a part of nature and are so far away from your regular life. Both Maddox and Tyler were able to go on most of the rides at the park and the wait time for the lines were at the most 10 minutes but most of the time we just waited one ride before we got on. It's nice to be able to spend time with the family, it really makes Randy and I appreciate the wonderful family that we have. Tweetsie is on the list of things to do next summer for sure!
