Tiny Town

We are always in search of new and fun things to do or places to go when my Mom is in town. It seems like we have pretty much done it all! But this trip I was actually able to come up with 2 fresh ideas! The first being...Tiny Town!

Tiny Town is in Morrison, Colorado, so it's just a quick trip into the foothills from our house. And it is super affordable. $5 for adults, $3 for children 2 and up, and $2 for a train ticket! So for a fun morning out and a new experience for our boys it was totally worth it!

Right when you walk into Tiny Town there is a small roundhouse for their miniature trains and cars. Nolan thought it was pretty cool to see where the trains "live".

And the first building we saw ended up being the boys' favorite of all! (And of course, just my luck, after this first building my camera battery died! Good thing my mom brought hers!)

They crawled right in and ran around!

Nolan looking out through the windows of the Fire House!

Heath did NOT want to come out! He was having so much fun! I love how this photo makes him look like a giant!

Nolan and Grandma made a wish at the wishing well.

We stopped in the shade for a little rest! It was a hot day!

Some of the buildings are so small that you can't go in them. You just look through the windows and take a peek at what's inside: little people and furniture and such.

But some are even just big enough for adults to go in!

Checking out a very tiny house with tiny little steps!

Heathy connecting with his Dutch heritage in the windmill!

Swingin' away at the Tiny Town park

The park was really nice & fun!

A little river runs through the park. The boys enjoyed finding and throwing rocks into the water!

Smiling with Grandma!

Peek-a-boo Grammy Pammy!

After walking through all the tiny houses and playing at the park it was time for a train ride!
Nolan loved the ride and looking at all the little houses and lawn ornaments along the way!

Tiny Town was the perfect boy outing- climbing, playing, running, riding, trains, and more!

After the train ride we hit up the gift shop for a little memento of our fun day together! We walked away with a train whistle that also has bubbles inside for Heath and a lego train for Nolan! (Secretly, I steered them to the 2 least expensive things in the shop! Ha! But they were thrilled with what they got!)

I'm sure with another baby boy on the way we'll be back to visit Tiny Town again in the future!

I have not been there for years! Guess I need to make a visit there too as it looks very fun!

So Fun! This is on our list of things to do as well. I think our girls would love it and seeing your boys there makes me want to take them sooner than later!
