A Day out with Thomas

Every Memorial Weekend we go up to Heber to see Thomas the Tank Engine. Talan loves to go and ride on Thomas and do all the activities that they have.

We have never bought tickets before hand and we have always gotten on the Train that we wanted. Well this year when we got up to get the tickets they only had a few for the 9:45 train and the next tickets available were for the 3:30 train. It was 9:35, so we hurried and got the tickets and ran to get on the train before it left. We were in such a hurry that I forgot to put new batteries in the camera so we have no photos of the boys riding on Thomas. Jason said that Talan had fun, and Lincoln just whined the whole time.

Of course when I want one good picture with the boys it never works out. Oh well it shows all their personalities. Talan is so excited to be at Thomas that he can't hold still. Lincoln could care less where we are he just wants out of the stroller so he can run wild. Jason just wants to get on with the day and quit have to posse for all these photos.

Talan and some of his best friends.

Lincoln still trying to find away out of his stroller. He was not a happy camper.

Two cute boys.

Yay, I am finally out of that stroller. Now if you will please let me down so I can run.

The boys had some balloon swords made and enjoyed jabbing at each other.
Tattoo Time. This year I stocked up on a few so he will take a bath and not have to worry about it coming off.

Showing off his newest Tatt.

Luckily I found a box of Goldfish in my bag to entertain Linx.

Off to play a little miniature golf. Looks like he has a good teacher helping to perfect his swing.

Tough call on how to approach this difficult hole
A perfect swing.

Yes, he got a hole in one. Watch out Tiger Woods.

Talan said that playing golf was his favorite part of Thomas this year. Next year we will just hit Trafalga and a train ride around the mall and save ourselves a little money.

Still could not get Talan to get his picture taken with Sir Topman Hat. Maybe next year.

Talan visited all the stations so he got a prize.

A couple of my favorite boys.

Thomas, Talan and I.

Lincoln still not wanting to be there, but at least he is content still eating his Goldfish.
Talan waiting to get his photo taking with Thomas.

Talan even got the conductor to wave.

Waiting so patiently.

Finally our turn and he wouldn't smile for the camera lady.
What? Out of Goldfish! It is defiantly time to go home.

We had a great day out with Thomas and I am sure that we will be back again next year.

Talan is such a sensitive child. He was so sad to leave Thomas. Before we even made it to the car he was sobbing and saying that he missed Thomas.

So Sad. He did cheer up when we told him we would stop at the Dairy Keen to have a hamburger and that they had a Thomas train that went around the restaurant.
I have been needing a drink all morning to wash down that box of Goldfish I ate.

I think that both the boys were asleep before we even hit the dam.

Lincoln did not look comfortable.
