Christmas Activity – Edaville Railroad

Chugga chugga choo choo… we journeyed up to Edaville Railroad in Carver, MA last night to ride the train and see the Christmas lights.  The light display was very impressive and although there were many of complaints about being cold I think everyone (Julia especially) had a great time.

While the main attraction at Edaville is the train ride, there are also amusement-park type rides to go on and lots of other displays to look at and enjoy.  Julia took her first carnival-type ride all by herself with her cousin Alex.  She rode in a little plane and went wayyy up in the air and LOVED it!

The next ride they chose was the much tamer carousel which Julia did not enjoy at all!  She clung to Andrew the entire time and could not wait to get off.  I can’t figure that out because she loves horses and getting dizzy so I’m not sure what the problem is with the carousel.  But she hung in there for the whole ride and then was able to go on another up-in-the-air ride, a little rocketship that went up and around, with her Dad and everything was good.

After that it was sufficiently dark to see the lights and the crowds were growing so we decided it was time to ride the train!  That was a lot of fun and Julia loved watching for lights and making the windows on the train fog up as she pressed against the glass!

After the train ride, tummies were grumbling and hands and noses were freezing so the train adventure came to end but I think we’ll probably be making the trip back again next year!
