ALL Aboard!

My dad and I took Scott to see Thomas last year.  Scott asked about it throughout the year, and he made it clear that he wanted to take Natalie along this time.  She has become quite the little train fan herself and surprised us one day during a train pop quiz.  She could name SO many engines.  She doesn't watch the shows (and ironically, rarely does Scott), so she must have learned most of their names from playing with Scott.  (College app material, I know.)

We went on a 25 minute train ride and then enjoyed some of the activities. 

This was Scott last year with Sir Topham Hatt- very unsure!

Having Natalie helped this year.  They went right up to him, and Natalie gave him a high five (even though the big fellow wasn't aware). 

Jon helped the kids do this hand car.

The petting zoo was very impressive!  The kids went right up to the animals.  Scott was uncharacteristically very brave when it came to petting them. 

They even got to ride ponies! 

And, much to my delight, they came away with tattoos from their day.  Scott chose James and Natalie chose Rosie.  They've been the cause of much discussion during bathtime and handwashing, as the kids are not wanting them to fade.

It was a memorable day!
