Day Out with Thomas

An early Sunday morning in late August took us to Union, IL to visit 'the Thomas'. The family got a chance to ride Thomas (for 20 minutes). We successfully managed to prevent Cora from crawling out the window during the ride while Henry sat in stunned silence- which meant he enjoyed himself. However, after 3 hours of Thomas and crowds the morning quickly deteriorated into tears. Overall a nice day but I can wait an entire year until Thomas visits again :)

Spent the morning visiting the lovely Notre Dame.  Henry was disappointed that this 'park' had no swings.

Kids will be kids.

Cleveland or bust.

Headed to the buckeye state for a family wedding.  Made our first leg of the journey today.
