The Heber Valley Creeper: 31 July 2014

I went on two train rides at the end of July and beginning of August...on a REAL train! And I think that anyone who lives in Utah should put it on their bucket list to ride the Heber Valley Creeper (we decided that creeper indicates that the train is slow, not that it's creepy ;)).

Train Ride #1--The Wizard's Train

Of course we wore our Wizard robes.

We were sorted into our houses and can you believe that I was put in Slytherin?! We were also provided with butter beer, chocolate frogs and Bertie Bott's every flavor beans. (pretty sure that we got dirt, grass, soap, and earthworm)

It truly was a gorgeous ride with the mountains, green fields, and Deer Creek as our scenery.

Train Ride #2--Provo Canyon Limited

This was a roommate trip, plus Jocelyn (Lena's sister).

The train was stopped in the middle of our ride and these bandits held us at gunpoint. Luckily we weren't robbed!

We actually ended up getting serenaded by one of the train robbers so that was pretty sweet. :) The train took us all the way to Vivian Park and back to Heber. 

It was fun, fun, fun!
