Day Out With Thomas

Here is Ian the day we went for our ultrasound. He is wearing his new "It's Cool to Be a Big Brother" t-shirt! This picture was taken in front of Emily's house. We went there afterwards to see her since she lives so close to the doctor's office.

We took Ian to Chattanooga to the Tennessee Valley Railroad last Saturday because they were having a "Day Out With Thomas". You get a 30 minute train ride and they have all kinds of Thomas themed activities for the kids to do. Ian had a great time, despite a few incidents...

Adam will kill me for telling this, but we both had a moment of pure stupidity. Our train was scheduled to leave at 2:30, so we decided to get there at 1:30 so we would have plenty of time. BUT, did we remember that Chattanooga is 1 hour ahead of our time???? NO. Adam realizes this as soon as we get there, so I take off with Ian to try to catch our train while Adam is parking. I was more than willing to ditch Adam as long as Ian got his train ride! It was really hot that day and after running and not seeing the Thomas engine anywhere, I finally asked someone that worked there and sure enough, our train had left! I was almost in tears at this point, but a nice man that worked there said he would try to get us on the 3:30 train. After telling Ian to look really pitiful, we got to ride that stupid train! I have never been so relieved.

Here is Ian posing in front of one of the train posters. They also had a petting zoo and mini golf. It ended up being a great day!
