Last week I was chosen as one of the winners on the L.E.N.S. Photo challenge. Thank you Jenny for choosing me as one of the winners! It was definitely a surprise and an honor!
This weeks L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge is Numbers. So as I was going through my pictures from this last week, I kept asking myself, “what did we learn this week with numbers?” Then I saw this picture. This is steam engine No. 70, Cinderella that is new at Dollywood. Cinderella is a Baldwin coal-fired steam train built in 1939. This engine was used in Alaska during World War II, transporting troops and lumber. Cinderella is new at Dollywood this year and has just recently began taking guests on a 5 mile journey around the theme park. I hope you enjoy this little piece of history as much we did!

I've always known that as a homeschooling mom I could find something educational in everything. Thanks for sharing this great way to work numbers in to our outings.
