This past weekend we drove out to the Heart of Dixie Railroad to ride Thomas the Train. You might remember that we did this last year too and it was so cold, so rainy, and so miserable that Robert said we’d never do it again and I agreed. Then my friend emailed that she was getting a little group together to go this year and I decided to give it one more chance.
Luckily it was a beautiful day and the boys had so much fun running around, riding on the train and seeing some buddies.
All aboard!
Fun with Jack and Bob!
How cute are all those boys lined up?!
I’m a sucker and got them both a balloon…those were fun on the car ride home.
It really was a gorgeous day and we were happy to be spending it outside.
Unfortunately, the ride home spoiled the day. We left at 12:15 planning to meet our friends for lunch about 10 minutes down the road. But, as soon as we got on the interstate, a very recent wreck immediately back everything up. We were 1/2 mile from the next exit and it took us ONE HOUR to go that half mile. With two tired, hungry babies in the backseat, it was not exactly a good time. I shelled out all the goldfish, graham crackers and packets I had in my bag and, finally, 2 hours later we made it home. Needless to say, Robert reiterated his statement from the previous year – never again are we going back to ride Thomas the Train! Sorry Thomas! Choo-choo! All aboard no more!
See you tomorrow!
Too bad about the traffic because I bet it was a good time at the train!
Kind of hard to say “never again” when you see those cute boys having fun together.
Pack extra for next time! Hopefully it will be smooth sailing. I mean smooth choo-chooing.
