A 1/2 day's outing to the sweet community of Uxbridge, north-east of Toronto. A train decorated with Christmas decorations hosts families with young children. The ride is an hour and goes from Uxbridge to Stouffville through the small community of Goodwood and back to Uxbridge. A clown makes balloons for the children, Santa visits and a strumming guitar player sings Christmas carols with the group. Of course, we sang along!
A slow methodical time with the children and grandchildren on an old railroad line.
Making use of old train stations for modern fun teaches a little history to young people. As most people know the railroad united this country since the late 1800s. To take a nostalgic journey today was quaint and enjoyable. Besides being with my grandchildren made it worthwhile. The kids enjoyed their bag of goodies given by the conductor at the end of the ride. I am sure there are many family events throughout the country this time of year.
