we brake for trains

We did some local wandering over the weekend to Essex, Connecticut to spend the day with Thomas the Tank Engine. A year ago, we had no idea who (or what) Thomas was; oh, how we have been indoctrinated.


Thanks to our good friends, the Peas, we knew about Thomas' visit to Connecticut. And since the visit coincides with the pup's obsession interest in trains, a perfect weekend outing was born.

Anders' favorite part was getting on this random red train sitting in the yard. But some of the other activites were fun too.

We had an opportunity to take a ride on Thomas (the whistle was very startling!);

but, clearly, the red caboose thing was the clear winner of the day.

The whole family had a great time!

There are a ridiculous number of photos in flickr.

Dru loves trains, too! I think all little boys are fascinated by them at one time or another. We've got one sitting in the garage waiting to be assembled for his birthday...I know...I'm sad--already got his bday gift! I LOVED the picture of Anders' surprise face regarding the whistle. Looks like a good time!
