Stringtown Nightmare Express

Amy invited us to go with her and her boys to this neighborhood train ride. Our husbands were doing scout training so it was fun having something to do together. Its out in Lindon and so much work is put into it and it's free! Can't beat that. Dressing up was an option but a fun excuse for the boys. We wanted to get there early because once it's dark, they do more to scare. I didn't want them jumping out at us :). When we got there the line wasn't horrible but it was very slow. They usually have two trains going but one of them was getting worked on. Half way through the wait they got it working again. The boys seemed to enjoy watching them working on it so it wasn't a huge deal. There was much applause when it was going again though.
As we got closer to our turn we got to watch a Disney Halloween movie in the garage. At this point the younger kids got a little antsy but it was our turn shortly after. Evan loved the ride but Alex didn't. No one jumped out at him and luckily I was able to hold him but I could tell he was scared because he would jump a little when someone came around the corner. After a while he started to cry :(. Evan was all smiles and laughed. I love that he loves Halloween. I just hope this experience didn't scar Alex for life because it was completely innocent.
