Day Out with Thomas

When I went to Chicago last month, my Mom and I took my 3 year old nephew Mason to see Thomas the Train. He LOVES anything that moves. Trains, Planes, and Automobiles! The look on his face when he saw Thomas was priceless. I think he was so shocked by how big it was and that it was real!

They had various options to choose from. We chose ride on the train that Thomas was pulling. We also got to meet Sir Topham Hatt and take a ride on Percy! They had quite a few other activities for the kids to do as well. I would highly recommend that you get there as early as possible. The kids seemed to be fading fast … my nephew included. It was about 90 degrees outside. There were lines for everything and that is very hard to explain to a 3 year old. Mason was an absolute trooper.  I highly recommend this activity but plan on it being a long day for the little one.

Idaho FUN!

It’s that time of year again that we take our yearly trip to Idaho. I LOVE how quiet it is up here! We were sitting out on the deck last night watching that bats fly overhead, eating all those pesky mosquitos. Today we went out on the boat and I got to see where Matthew Mcconaughey’s new house is being built on the lake! Shhhhh its a secret! Rumor has it he bought the island across the water too! But you know how rumors in a small town go!

Grandpa and his fearless copilot! I could spend all day out on that boat! We have had some perfect weather! 90’s during the day and cool 60’s at night! I am working on my tan too! Till next time! I hope to have some awesome eagle photos to show off!
