I made Derek take a day off work to go with us. Well, made may be a strong word, I just told him the kids and I were going and he could do what he wanted. He took the day off! As we were pulling into the little mountain town we stayed in, we saw this:

Yep, a little moose standing next to the road. (It's a cow (female) hence the lack of antlers) But still, a moose in the wild. Always cool to see! Well, the whole purpose of our little trip was to see this silly little blue train.

Kiddos had a great time together (mostly). They had matching Thomas shirts. We found them a couple days before for 2 bucks. I splurged :0)
They had a lot of activities for the kids and we spent a couple hours there. They loved riding this little yellow electric rail car.
My kids also just love water right now, so they were happy just having a place to swim!

We had a great quick little trip. Left Wed. at 3:30ish and were home Thursday night (probably around a 4 hour drive each way). It was well worth the trip, through my babies eyes. Their night time prayers still will have a "thank thee we could ride Thomas" thrown in there.
