finally~

so finally i have had a chance to sit down and blog about our weekend. well we left thursday to head to my parents house to stay overnight to get ready for thomas. friday morning we woke up and got everything loaded into the car and headed out. ( a little early, that was my fault, but it was still good). the reason i say that is because we got there an hour before anything really happened. i must have misread the web site. anyways they had a fun train station that had one of many gift shops and so the boys found this to keep themselves entertained.

they played for a long time. they thought it was great. they even shared with some other kids that got there early also. i think they would have been excited if that was the whole day! But then we convinced them to go outside and look at some of the other trains while we waited for thomas.before to long we heard thomas coming down the line. so we walked over and got to see all of the railway workers hooking thomas up to the cars that he would be pulling. at this point curls and rewind were yelling, " HELLO THOMAS, HELLO THOMAS, HELLO THOMAS!"so finally they got him all hooked up and all of the kids were so excited. curls and rewind wanted to walk over for a better look and check thomas out.curls was more interested at looking at thomas than me for the picture, but you get the idea! i had to quick snap a shot while i was making weird noises trying to get him to look at me.
then we headed over to the petting zoo to look at all the animals. rewind has always been our animal lover. he just gets giddy about petting and feeding the animals. so grandpa george got some animal food and they fed the goats together. i was surprised little rewind let them eat right out of his hand.then he loved on all the animals for a little while. he is such a sweet boy. maybe he will be a vet or something =) after we were done with the petting zoo it was time to have our picture taken with thomas. i was surprised. i thought the boys did really well waiting in line for their turn. i had more issues with ragging hormones.=0 anyways they boys got right up on the stand and we got some cute pictures of them with thomas! then it got exciting..it was time for our ride!
we all got on the train and found our seats. it was a very cute train. old and just fun. the boys like sitting in the seats and looking out the windows. here are my parents, they sat right behind us. they were good sports. my mom was having real allergy issues and i think the boys were a little grumpy all day from the same thing. but they were really helpful and it was really fun to have them there with us!curls wanted to keep holding on to his thomas ticket. i guess maybe he thought if he didn't have it they would kick him off. once the train got going he let me hold it though.i love these two pictures of sargento and rewind. they are just so sweet. rewind was having a good time sitting with his daddy looking out the window and waving to everyone as we went by in the train. ( they even got on camera for IPTV)

here is curls with my mom. he sat on her lap most of the train ride. they were looking at all the other trains, and trees, animals and most of all, curls liked to check out all the other tracks. he really likes rail roads. i think they had a lot of fun!last on our stop once we got off the train was to say a quick hello to sir topham hat. the boys thought it was cool to see him too. it was so much fun.

right after this rewind got to see dan bordell (hopefully i spelled that right) he got to shake his had and was videoed for IPTV. lucky boy got on there twice! so now i will have to keep my eyes out for it. anyways we had a great time. thanks so much to my parents for the weekend and for such a fun birthday present for the boys. they are still talking about it.

it was a fun but busy weekend. i also took my cousins senior pictures. i haven't posted all of them just the black and white. i am hoping to get the rest posted by this afternoon. but if you want to see some you can click here.

well off to a doctors appointment. i am hoping everything goes well! i will try and update the rest later!
