Today the King's decided to head West towards Lincoln. Our destination - the Hobo Railroad. After getting our tickets we had some time to kill before the train. We walked around, had a snack and took some pictures. Next we headed up to the show - Hobo Phil. Nicholas was kind enough to volunteer his mother to be the Hobo Magician's Assistant. Kathy had to stand up front and concentrate on a card and send the message to another member of the audience. The magician thought she had too much interference so she had to wear an antenna and blow a blower so he could get the thought. But he did.
Next we headed onto the train ride. As we were headed out of the station - Kathy looked out the window and at the Hobo Golf place - she saw the Robars playing golf. Kathy was able to get Lenny's attention! Hope they are having half a good time as we are.
The train ride took us down a beautiful scenic ride along the river. On the way back - Hobo Phil came and made balloon animals for all the kids. But when he came to Nick he gave him an unblown up black balloon and told him it was a worm - that's what he gets for picking on his mom. Kathy loved that Hobo!
After the train ride the Kings headed to the NH National Forest to Lower Falls for swimming in the Potholes. The kids had such a great time in Vermont last year - Kathy just knew they would love this - and they did! She finally had to drag them out so we could head back for dinner.
The King's caught back up with the Saunders at the campground after they returned from Vermont. We had hotdogs and fresh corn on the cob. We watched Rush Hour 3 before heading to bed.
Today's trivia question - the National Forest has a week long recreational pass - what os the cost of it to use the 800,000 acres of National Forest?
