Thomas the Tank Engine!!

My mom came out for a visit to help me get my mind off of the early stages of being pregnant. While she was here, Reed decided to take the time off and that we should take a trip. We decided on Strasburg, PA. once again. We love going up to that area!! It's so pretty up there, relaxing, and the food is great!! While we were in Strasburg, it was the week that Thomas the Tank Engine was there! We weren't able to get tickets early, so we just showed up an hour before they opened. Luckily, we were one of the first to get tickets for the first ride that morning! There we alot of vendors there along with Amish selling their baked goods, wood work, and even one had little dwarf bunnies for sale! SO CUTE!!! We found one tent that was all Thomas the Tank Engine! Of course, JD was staying right by the toys and kept telling Grandma that he wanted this one, now this one, and this one... I think you get the picture. JD was taking advantage of the fact that Grandma was there. Made us all laugh! When it was time for our train ride, JD did not like the idea of waiting in line. He just wanted to get on right then and get going!! I don't blame him. He was very excited. Seeing his excitement made the day the best day for me. I just love it when he gets so excited and is having so much fun! We had a great time on our trip. It rained a little and cooled down to the 60's, but we had a great time seeing the sights, Thomas, and getting some shopping done! I love having my mom come out to visit. I had so much fun with her and have enjoyed every minute of it.
