Haunted train ride

Last night we went on the Haunted Canyon Train ride. I was a little nervous about this because I was not sure how Mathias would react. They tell you a scary story while on the train ride then you look out the windows to see scenes from the story. Also every once in a while they would have people in costumes walk up and down the train and hand out candy. It was pretty cute. They had red and yellow and green lights on the train instead of the regular ones and they had spider webs through out. Mathias did alright until close to the end when more and more scary guys walked up and down the isles. We asked him when we got back in the car if it was fun or scary and he said fun. He keeps saying "mom I ride in the train". He was seriously so excited we had to hold him back so A) he would not go right up to the train and B) so he would not cut to the front of the line. Mathias loves trains and has been asking to go on one since we went and saw Thomas earlier this year. Tickets are kinda spendy but if you went last night and told them that you heard about it on Good Things Utah you got $5 off each adult ticket and a few dollars off of kid tickets. Mathias was free (2 and under). So since this was such a good deal I begged Dev to let us do it. I will say this, it is a pretty short ride, 35 minutes. The weather was perfect and the trains are heated (a little too well heated since we sat right next to the heater). I think it was an all around fun family outing that Mathias will remember for a while.
