Mother's day with Thomas

This is what a three year old in total childhood bliss looks like. Matthew had the GREATEST time seeing Thomas this weekend. He absolutely loved the train ride. It was short ride through the forest, but he was telling me how we were going through Henry's forest in the books, complete with a tunnel that we went through. He must really believe the Thomas stories because he knew that was the tunnel that Henry got stuck in with an elephant. There was a ditch next to the tracks that was where Gordon fell into the mud, and he just knew the extra passenger cars on a siding were Gordon's express coaches. It made me so happy to see him and his imagination going wild. This guy truly believed that we had driven to Sodor.

Trevor was funny. He was trying to be so cool the whole drive up, telling us that he was too big to think that Thomas was cool. When he first saw him (in the first picture) we got stopped as Thomas was rolling across the intersection....Trevor started yelling, "THERE HE IS!!" You would have thought Thomas was a rock star. It was cool as the crossing arms came down and were dinging, and Thomas' whistles were going, "peep peep!"

We spent all day up in Williams. The weather was perfect, and probably because it was Mother's day, the crowd was pretty small. So we were really able to enjoy all of the other attractions that they had going on. I got a ton of photos, and honestly this was one of the best mother's days ever. Nothing beats seeing how happy the kids were.

I hope that you all had a great day too!
