train ride with baba Rita

Milo took a special summer train ride of Oregon Pacific Railroad 

with baba Rita and his mom.

The train ran along the Willamette River through Oaks Bottom Refuge 

to east Portland near OMSI and back.

It was a little chilly on the train, but Milo enjoyed his warm and cozy ride like this.

He did not like the loud whistle so much.

There was Oregon Rail Heritage center (museum for Portland three famous locomotives) 

right next to the northern station, so we visited there too.

Milo was stoked to be there, but at the same time he was scared at the big trains too.

He enjoyed looking at the trains as long as we kept certain distance from them.

He was freaked out when we were close to the trains or tried to touch them.

Interesting, huh?

On the way back, Milo was overly concerned with the loud whistle, 

and he had covered his ears from the beginning...

Although Milo did not like the loud whistle (yes, it was actually really really loud!)

and was scared at the big trains,

he seemed to have so much fun that he cannot stop talking about it now.
