After unloading from the van, Gary leads the girls from the parking lot
|

The girls seem unfazed by the engine's steam and whistles
|

The girls greet me briefly, but there's more train spotting to do!
|

They locate the electric trolley that leads downtown
|

The girls watch for traffic before crossing
|

They locate an engine on display near the street
|

The girls lead Gary across the street
|

Gary keeps the girls moving
|
|

One final trip by the train before heading to the van
|

We stop at a wildlife area near Boone.
|

Gracie enjoys an opportunity to swim!
|

Shakin' off the water!
|

Lisa Marie prefers wading into..and drinking..the water
|

Yum!
|

The water reflects the quiet setting
|
|

Priscilla keeps her toes on the sand
|

Lisa Marie dunks her head!
|

Priscilla heads further inland
|

Hey! Wanna play?!?
|

Gracie accepts the challenge to romp
|

They get a bit frisky
|

Lisa Marie finds interesting scents to explore
|

The water calls both Gracie and Lisa Marie back
|
|

Priscilla says goodbye to the preserve
|

Gracie gets another chance to swim later at Badger Creek
|

She heads straight for the water!
|

Gary takes Elvis for a walk by the water's edge
|

Elvis is tickled to explore Badger Creek
|

Hi, Gary! Look at me!
|

Elvis notices movement in the grasses
|
|

The boys share a brief camera pose
|

then Elvis is ready to go home!
