Thomas the Tank Train

Rollin, Vivian and I got to spend a short weekend in the Seattle area visiting Grammie Kathy 

aaaannd

riding on Thomas the Tank Train!!

It was a packed, hot summer weekend.

We went to the beach in Ballard, 

had a slumber party with their cousin Miles,

visited the Salmon Festival market 

and the kids got to ride on a city bus for the first time!

Then we where off to visit Thomas and Friends!

Here comes Thomas!

Miles, Rolli and Vivian 

excited to be riding Thomas!

...even though it was like a "green house" in the passenger car.

The train ride took us by Snoqualmie Falls (and back).

Our 3 lil' Thomas passengers waving at the small crowd as we tooted by.

Thanks to Aunt Lindsey for the invitation and Grammie Kathy for the memorabilia shirts :)

Thomas was a bit more English and a tad less exciting than I had expected.

But Rolli and Vivian didn't know any difference and they talked the WHOLE way home.

...then slept in till 9 the next morning!

Now my lucky kids have ridden in a 

car,

boat, 

plane,

pony cart,

bus 

and train.

What's next?!
