Vacation Day 4 & 5

There are a couple things that Caleb is really into right now - Tractors & Trains!  I found the Mid-Continent Railway Museum in North Freedom, WI.  We took about an hour train ride in a restored train; it was quite the hot day and the train wasn't moving as fast as I would have liked!

After the museum we drove through Devil's Lake State Park.  We loved the scenery, especially the bright red barns against the green fields - just beautiful!  It brought back memories of my Grandpa Virgil's red barn.

The water was so beautiful - there was a pretty beach we passed, but didn't have any swim clothes handy, so we drove on....not much in the park other than the beach and a couple hiking trails.

Day Five was scheduled to be spent at Old World Wisconsin; however, due to the extreme heat (and several of the interperters passing out the day before) the state closed the park for the day!  So we drove on to Milwaukee and stopped at the Harley Davidson museum.

Caleb . . . . so cute!

Mommy & Caleb - the closest I've ever been to a motorcycle

At the end of the museum there was a room full of motorcycles for you to sit on & watch a video - it was like you were driving through the country.  The kids had a great time playing on all the different motorcycles!  This was Caleb's favorite - he loves the color red too!

Sarah's favorite!
