A Day with Thomas!

So glad we have friends like Brian and Caroline who do these fun things with their kids and invite us to come along! Must admit I would not have thought to set my alarm at 6AM on a Sunday and drive to Chattanooga to see a giant replica Thomas the Tank Engine! But that is what we did today and I am glad we did. Despite the sheer exhaustion that set in towards the end of the day, Matty and Jakers had a blast.

The petting zoo, the jump house, the ride on the real life choo-choo train, the slushies, the ice cream, the photo session with Sir Topham Hatt...what a packed and memorable day!

The boys loved the petting zoo with their Daddies! The animals ate right out of their hand. I almost had too close an encounter with a goat horn that really would have smarted had it been any harder!

The train ride was really neat and the boys really got a kick out of the whistle and watching the steam as we chugged along.

After the train ride, the boys relaxed in the shade with some red slushies.

And this was Matty on our way to lunch. Sadly, this was all he slept today.
