We enjoyed the scenery and the nice breeze and tried to get Scarlett to say, "chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-CHOO-CHOO," about a million times without much success. Mostly she stared at us wondering why we were making such silly noises. She did enjoy giving the queen wave to all the onlookers as we chugged throughout the park though.
