Here are pics from our visit to Tiny Town in Tiny Town, Colorado--a unique place indeed. Go to http://www.tinytownrailroad.com/ to read about "The Oldest Kid Size Village and Railroad in the USA." We started with the train ride around the village, which the twins partly enjoyed (as the day wore on, Chance became more and more disturbed by the loud train whistle; loud noises have bothered him since birth). You can see one of the tiny buildings in the background.
Grace beside the miniature replica of Pleasant Park School, which was only recently added to Tiny Town. This schoolhouse holds some significance for our family; the twins' great grandmother (maternal), Pauline Griffith, was a teacher at the one-room schoolhouse in nearby Conifer. She was also a founding member of the Pleasant Park 4-H group. Grammy Sharon (pic above) attended the the real (full-size) schoolhouse that was built 1894, a historic landmark that we also got to see in person (but the twins were asleep in the car, so we couldn't get out and take a tour). Gracie peered into the window of the school at Tiny Town and found miniature desks, a chalkboard, and more. Many of the structures included miniature "scenes" inside--very cute!
Grammy guided the twins through the village.
Chance laughed at his mommy through the barred window of the miniature jail. (This pic may come in handy someday, eh?)
Grace peering teasingly through the bars of the jail.
Chance and Grace visiting another schoolhouse. Aren't they cute as they follow each other to inspect the same building?
If Mommy remembers correctly, this fun moment also ended with a bite--I think Grace bit Chance, but I'm not sure.
Gracie tries to open the door to one of the tiny houses.
