Thomas the Train!!!

Toot Toot! Here we come Thomas the Train! All Aboard the Choo Choo Train All Aboard!!!

That's right...today we headed to Burnet, Texas to see Thomas the Train! It was a cold and rainy day. It somehow went from summer to winter in one day. It was 55 degrees and rain poured almost all day. But, that didn't stop us from loading up for a road trip with friends! The girls really enjoyed the afternoon.

We arrived and the rain was pouring down! We had umbrellas and all still managed to get wet. The kiddos (Jack, Lily, Lillian and Lydia) all did fabulous and no one even complained once about being wet and cold. We first hit the gift shop...okay, so I was cold! :) We only managed to buy two things and I was impressed with Lillian not wanting the most expensive thing! :) We decided to go back outside and found a tent set up with train tables, coloring pages and tattoos. Lillian wanted to color and so she sat down at a table to color a quick picture. Lydia just walked around for the most part. Lydia loved the train table too and played with it for a little while.

Then, a quick bathroom break and in line to wait for Thomas to arrive! Lillian was so excited to see Thomas arrive and she was screaming, "Thomas Thomas Thomas!" It was so cute and Thomas looked cute too! It was basically just a line of old train cars with Thomas in front. But, Lillian didn't care! She was ready to get on board and ride the train! We got into our seats and off we went on the train track. Lydia did great too for her first train ride. She even looked outside some and played with her sister. Lillian was starring outside and looking at all the scenery- mainly old houses, trees and cows. But, she loved every minute and didn't want to get off the train. We went 12 1/2 minutes backwards and 12 1/2 minutes forward.

After our train ride, then we decided to get a tattoo and head home. It had stopped raining for 20 or 25 minutes, but it started raining again. So, we headed to the car and went for ice cream. That was the last thing we needed, but it was good! The Martin girls headed back on the open road home and now the house is quiet. The girls went to bed early tonight...exhausted from one crazy weekend and dreaming of rock stars and trains! Mommy is too! Good night!

Love you all!
