For those of you you have never been privledged to join us here, such a wonderland as Turkeyville does indeed exist! We had heard about it when we moved here but we hadn't ever visited it until last year. Now we visit regularly. Turkeyville is pretty much a glorified turkey farm, but it is so much fun. Nearly every weekend there is something going on--flea markets, craft fairs, yard sales, entertainement, etc. There are two gift shops (one of which sells old fashioned candy), a game room, an ice cream parlor, a restaurant that sells (surprise!) all sorts of dishes made with turkey, a playground, a dinner theater, and on certain weekends they have trains running (see below). Also, it is really nice for the kids to see actual farm animals. I didn't realize how citified they were until recently Kendall said to me "I don't think I've ever seen a real chicken before." (He has but it was so long ago that he couldn't remember it.) Lynnsey responded to him:"Yes you have. We had it for dinner the other night."
These trains are really amazing. They're tiny little things and run on even tinier tracks, but they are sturdy enough that adults can ride too. The track winds through the woods and the ride is complete with a tunnel and a couple of trestles to cross. The kids all fought over who got to ride with Timothy. Taylor grudgingly agreed to ride with me, (and Nana and Kayleigh). 
We all got to ride together this time around since this train had two cars attatched to it. We rode twice and the kids probably would have ridden a few more times, but after the second time the line had become really long. It's okay though. They know we'll be back another day...

We had a good time when we out to Turkeyville last summer. In fact, Isabel was to bring a photo of something she did over the summer to first grade and a picture of her with a goat there is what she chose. She had to write a little paper to go with it but I think she referred to it as "Turkey Town"!
I didn't do that ride when dad and I brought Samuel and Kayleigh there last year, I was tired on that short trip, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much anyway!!! I did not go this past trip so I was sad, I told the kids about it and Adrian let me know that he went with the kids, Ashley missed out because she was with me doing whatever we were doing on that day. We will have to try to visit another time and make sure that we go!!! Very cute pictures.
Sounds like a very fun place! The train is too cute! I wonder how it works?
