Day out with Thomas

Brad bought tickets for the family to do this. The girls really like Thomas but we weren't bogged down with their expectations being rocked or not met. I suppose Thomas is sort of a big deal with kids. Some other kids are OBSESSED with Thomas. I witnessed many a manic child throw fits and tempers because the day with their hero might have not gone as planned.
It was a beautiful morning. We got great seats on the train

After the train ride we were going to stand in line to take a picture with Thomas. This was good enough for us though...

They had a little hay maze set up that the girls had a blast in.

They had booths kind of like giant gift shops, petting zoo stuff (ick), a Thomas Tattoo booth (not kidding about that one), and other kid friendly crafty sites.

It was such a fun family outting and I once again realized that of all the kids in that massive crowd, mine are the ONLY ones I want to hang out with all day long on a given Saturday.

Weird. Your kids are just about the ONLY ones I want to hang out with on a given Saturday, too!!

Sounds like fun! I love that you are very relaxed about it and not nearly as obsessive as some people. Saw many tattoed kids over the weekend. Kinda glad my kids have no idea about Thomas.

I'm glad you enjoyed your "thomas experience". We had a ball when we went, too!

Why I totally rule: How I rediscovered my chi

(In order to fully appreciate this post, you MUST put on the background music. Just click the play from youtube. This has potential to be a longagong post so you might as well enjoy some tunes. I did most of my training with these gentleman blasting in my ear. Vampire Weekend, I love you.) Here's the story with the gory details. Why do you tri? On October 18, 2004 I delivered a 16 week old boy in the same room of the American Fork hospital that I lost one six months earlier. (I get pregnant really easily.) The previous week I had seen the doctor and everything was looking good and right on track so yay for me. While the first one was devastating (a whole other post for a whole other day), it was number 2 that changed me. I was so angry at my body for betraying me and not letting me do what I wanted it to do. I figured I was doing all the "right things" with the taking care of myself so therefore, I would be able to carry the babies to term and everyone would live happily ...

I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, but Primary?!

Brad took the picture of me teaching GD a year ago. I was not pleased. No pictures. Brad took this picture of Max while I was teaching GD a month ago. I was pleased. Pictures of Max are fine by me. Some important thoughts on my new calling: In the 21 years since I have been in Primary as a merrie miss (apparently they are not called that anymore), I have subbed a handfull of times. It was not a success. One time, while subbing for Brad I went into the class and the boys had escaped out the window. All I saw were a set of feet as the kid was leaping out. Another time, while subbing for Brad I used the tie some kid was using and irritating everyone around him with and TIED HIM TO THE CHAIR. Another time, while subbing, the kid sliced his finger on the chair (not the same kid and he was not trying to escape my tying him up.) and ended up in the ER. (and it so happens that his mom is my 2nd counselor. I think that's funny.) I really really really loved teaching Gospel Doctrine. I hope ...

I am not sure if he is showing off his new tie he got for Christmas? He is a handsome little guy!
