THOMAS!!!! Yes, we visited Thomas the train on our way back home to Bemus! Taj couldn't stop talking about him before we got there, and now he asks about him all the time since we got back. I researched this before planning our road trip and found out that Thomas the Train makes his way to the Strasburg Railroad only several times a year, and the weekend we went was his final and last one of the year! Pretty special event, and it was even more special because we all got to ride him! It was magical for the boys :)
Before we could get to the Strasburg railroad, the general public had to park in a nearby cornfield, and school buses would escort us to the event. OH MY GOSH, this was just another icing on the cake for Taji! He LOVES school buses! And semi-trucks, trash trucks, moving trucks, car carrier trucks, fire trucks...... you name it! But he's never sat on a school bus before so this was a memorable 'first' for him, he was grinning from ear to ear!
When we arrived at the train station, guess who made his grand entrance?!!!

There were all sorts of train related activities for the wee ones, including the "cranky cars" that the kids have to wind to ride..... Taj was so good at this, strong muscles :)
The boys' 'first' tattoos!!! (temporary Thomas train tattoos)
We get 'em tatted early around here...... ha ha! Jax's first tattoo at age 9 months :)
train tables galore
What a fun day for the boys!!! Definitely see ourselves coming back here again, and even staying at the Red Caboose! (its a train hotel, meaning every train caboose is a room fully equipped with beds and bathroom!) Can you imagine what an experience that would be for little boys, to get to sleep in a real train caboose??
