Adventures With Thomas

In what is becoming an annual tradition, we rode the Thomas the Tank Engine in the nearby old railroad town of Boone last weekend. It is not an understatement to say this event is a toddler boy's dream.

Grant, our little botanist, stared out the window, pointing out the crab apple trees and "pinecone trees" that he saw along the way, while Miles asked over and over again: "Ride Thomas?" As in, "Pinch me, Mom. I can't believe I'm riding the real, true Thomas."
