Small Town Fun

{Small Town Fun}

So, the kids and I learned a few new things on our trip to Nebraska! First we learned about smashing pennies on a railroad track, I had never done this before and it was pretty fun! No need to worry, I looked online first to make sure that there was no threat to the train from our pennies; there wasn’t.

We put out pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters; 11 coins total.

We waited for the train, which didn’t take long since they were coming every 10 minutes. (If you read my original vacation post you will know how exciting that was, since our hotel room was a few hundred feet from the track. The hotel is also at a “honking point” for the trains J )

It came, it crushed and it left

 

We had the hardest time finding all of the coins! Of the 11 we laid out we only found 2 pennies and a quarter. We had a great time and the kids thought it was the best thing ever, totally worth the lost money!
