DaY OuT WiTh ThOMaS.....SoRt Of!

During Memorial day weekend Thomas is hanging out up at the Heber Valley Rail Road. We had taken the boys to this a few years back for Cody's 4Th Birthday. We did not have much going on this weekend but we knew we wanted to get out of the house and do something fun with the boys. Matt told them he had a surprise for them and we had them jump in the car. We first stopped at the gas station and they were so excited, they thought this was their surprise! Guess we could have stopped the trip right there! We all got a treat then proceeded to head up the mountains. Cody was getting very annoyed that we would not tell him what the surprise was. He kept trying to figure it out. When he would see something that he thought maybe would be it, in a put out voice would say, "is this the surprise?" Jeez boy, come on and lighten up a little! This is supposed to be fun! We finally arrived and Matt parked right next to the train tracks. See we didn't really have tickets for the train, we just thought it would be fun to watch it drive by and be right there to see their cute little faces light up! The timing was perfect, we got the boys out just in time to for them to hear that a train was on the tracks, this alone would have been very exciting. They love to see the trains in Lehi. We were so close that Cody was getting a little scared and kept trying to get back in the car, he still didn't know what he was about to see and we didn't want to tell him. We turned on the video camera to see the look on their faces, priceless! We then went over to the station where they were holding the Day Out with Thomas event, you have to have a pass to do anything but we were able to walk around, take pictures, see the trains, etc. It was really fun and FREEEEEE!
