Yesterday we had went down to the Fillmore & Western Railway and enjoyed a day with Thomas the Train in absolute perfect weather. I was really quite impressed with the setup and the boys had so much fun. Even though Benji has never really gotten into trains as much as Peter, they both had so much fun.
The boys enjoyed the bounce houses, the hay maze, and playing with the many train tables.
Benji was especially proud of his Thomas tattoo.
They also had this great reptile show with a huge turtle which made a beeline for Peter.
Of course, there were snakes. Which I suppose I'm getting a little better about. Mostly because of Benji's reactions. The lady in charge would call kids up by their age groups and the first time Benji lined up very carefully next to the other kids and was so interested in the snakes. But once he figured how it all worked, he tried to get up with all the other age groups to pet the snakes. That kid wound up touching every single snake up there I think. He cracks us up.
Luckily Peter was a little unsure about holding this python. I think he's more of my opinion about snakes.
Then we got in line to take a ride on Thomas.
Luckily we were able to snag seats in the outdoor car and enjoyed a 25 minute ride past lots of farms. It was really very cool and probably my favorite part of the day.
Despite their faces here, the boys had an awesome day and loved the ride. I think they were just beat by this point.
Some local firemen were there too and let the kids climb up in the fire truck and try on all their gear. Our future fireman Peter was in absolute heaven.
Benji was in heaven when we found this fountain and he got to play in the water for a while.
We really had a great time - I was very impressed with how well the whole event was put together. It's one we'll definitely have to do again sometime.
