A Day Out With Thomas

We have been wanting to do this trip for a long time. Mema found out that Thomas would be at the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad this past week and we decided it was worth it to go. We made a short weekend trip out of it and it was wonderful. Well except being stuck in a hotel room with 4 kids by myself....but that's a story for another day. And just in case you were wondering....NO....it was not any cooler in the mountains. In fact if I were to guess, I'd say it was just as hot there as it would have been back at the house.

The whole day was filled with activities activities activities. From bounce houses, videos to watch while resting, lego to build and pictures to color there was not any down time to be had. We were all thoroughly worn out by the end of the day!! But it was SO worth it!

 we drove past the train station the night before our ride and look who we saw getting ready for a big day!
"peep peep!"

 this was the only time they sat still the whole night....took 2 hours to calm them down enough to fall asleep.  just about drove me bonkers.

 hooray for Sir Topham Hat-Paige would only go up there if I went with her

 Keegan only went if mema and papa went with him-seth was a party poop and didn't go at all. 

 why yes, that is a thomas engine made entirely of legos

 music and story time

 finally on the train!!!!!

 bronwyn loves her papa!

 a park across the street from where we had dinner had this train car just sitting in it. we walked over there and let the kids run off some more energy.
