A Day Out with Thomas the Train

This past weekend we all (Chuck, Dian, Scott, Ashlyn & Grandpa Tom) went to The Inland Empire Railway Museum in Perris, CA to spend the day with Thomas the Train. It has become something of a tradition to go to each Veteran's Day weekend.

I think that Scott may be out growing his love of Thomas, but he still loves trains. When Chuck asked Scott what he was looking forward to the most was, Scott said, "Spending time with Grandpa." How cool is that! Grandpa loves trains as well (he has a whole train layout in his garage at home and Scott loves to visit him and "play" trains).

We rode on a train "pulled" by Thomas, a cabooses train (only cabooses on the train, no rail cars), a trolley, and saw lots and lots of train "parts" (for the lack of a better word...). The boys loved it! Ashlyn and I spent a fair amount of time at the petting zoo, which we enjoyed feeding the goats, pigs, and a pony. She enjoyed the the temporary tattoos or "sattoos" as she calls them. She kept rubbing them off so we could go back and get more.

We had a great day! I can't say that I love trains very much, but I love spending time with my family and watching them have fun!

Here are some pictures of our adventure. Enjoy and Toot Toot!


You can't miss the fact that they are father and son, can you?

Aren't they adorable? Sleeping in the car on the way home.

I thank God so much for the family that He has blessed me with!!
