A Day out with Thomas!

A couple weeks ago, mom and I took the boys to Cincinnati to go to "A Day out with Thomas." Trains are Lincoln's obsession right now, so I thought he'd really love this! And Liam, well, he loves whatever, so we were good to go! This is when we first got to the railway - Lincoln spotted a "boose" (caboose), so he and mim-mim had to "choo-choo" at it.

This event was really too cute! They had lots of little "stations" set up with train tables, thomas tattoos, Sir Topham Hat, train movies, magicians, etc. Of course Lincoln was in heaven in the train table tent!

Then, we got to ride on a LIFE SIZE Thomas the Train! When that thing puffed up the tracks, you may as well have forgotten about getting Lincolns attention! He took his eyes off it for long enough to take the above picture, and that is it...

This guy was walking around juggling and Lincoln thought he was really cool.

And of course he loved meeting "Sir Top Hat" as he calls him. (Ps - is it just me, or is that costume just a little creepy?)

We had to have a picture by the diesels as well as the steamies! (If you live at our house, you know all about the competition of who is the best)

This was taken with my Iphone (God love that phone) on the train ride. Can you tell Lincoln is excited? Maybe Mim-mim was a little too excited too?

After the train ride, we meandered around to check out all the other fun stuff.

That evening, we crossed the bridge into Newport and went to the Aquarium. We took Lincoln to an aquarium around this time last year and he loved it. Yet again - aquarium was a success!!

This is his shark face. He was watching the scuba divers feed them with mim-mim.

I think the measurements are a little off (thanks to my photography skills) - but he is nearly 3 feet tall now!

And though this scale says 34 lbs, I think it may be a little over too. We weigh in on the bathroom scale at 30. Petting the sharks. You can tell Lincoln is very content to just watch on this one!

Outside the aquarium is a nice courtyard area (with a candy shop and a coldstone!!). The weather was supernice - so we grabbed some ice cream and sat out there with the boys for a bit. Lincoln was OBSESSED with catching a bird - and I must say it was quite hilarious to watch him chase these little sparrows all over the place!

Liam was just happy to be out of the stroller for a while!!

How sweet are these boys? I could just eat them up...

Thank goodness for autotimers!

Reading a train book with mim-mim.

You know these two are pooped when they pass out on the same bed! We had a blast! Worn out? Yes. But so fun! Hopefully this video will work. Since we've been back, about all Lincoln says is "all aboard" and "need two tickens" (I need two tickets). So sweet...
