thomas the train extravaganza

we spent friday afternoon at thomas the train day at the historic train station near here. we may have over estimated noah's knowledge and "love" of thomas though. and it was possibly a year- even two- too early for him to really understand. oh well- that's how i learn i suppose. the tickets were kinda spendy- and the only part that you were paying for was the train ride itself- which as you'll see below- was not exactly his favorite part! it was about a 30 min ride, but that's a long time for him to sit still. anyway, he did love all the train tables to play on and absolutely loved feeding the animals. they were hungry little things too- almost lost a finger or two more than once. my dad and gail were here for the weekend so it was great to have them along. noah has since been walking around the house looking for grandpa and grandma. thanks for coming guys- and we can't wait to see you both when the baby gets here!

on the bus out to the train depot- he chatted it up with a little girl sitting behind himplaying with the train tables they had set up
more train tables- it was hard to share the trains with the other kiddos.....
future firefighter- i had to bribe him to get out of there and give someone else a turn!
i think this is an alpaca- not the prettiest creature- but hungry none the less
loving the train ride!
a horrible pic of me- but it was the only group one we had
