Another Day Out With Thomas Event

My oldest daughter, Crystal, and I took "our boys" to see Thomas the Tank at the Strasburg Railroad yesterday.  I am glad I had left Christopher back at the shoe with Daddy and Trinity, since it poured rain almost the entire time.  He would have been miserable, and most likely would have ended up very sick.

Crystal brought her boyfriend, Patrick.  On the way there, my boys were making plans about who was going to get to hang out with Patrick the most.  I had to remind them that Patrick would probably like to hang out with Crystal the most.  They did not think that sounded like much fun.  Oh, well, they will understand someday.  Patrick fits in well with my sons, a little too well sometimes.  It is never a dull moment.

In spite of the rain, we had a good time and were able to ride most rides.  Aaron got to have his first experience on the pump car.  He and Crystal went on it together.  Crystal was very out of breath when they got off the car, Aaron, not so much.  Not too bad for a boy who almost died two months ago.

The boys, including Patrick, rode the cranky cars.  We also rode the Little Cagney.  And of course, the train pulled by Thomas:)

Patrick likes to encourage the boys to make silly faces for the pictures, then he straightens up just as the picture is being taken, leaving, mostly Jesse, the one on the right, to still be making a goofy face.


Aaron, Josh, Patrick, Jesse (with the goofy face) and Seth.

 Crystal is completely oblivious to the goofy face Patrick is making.  She thinks we deleted this picture:)
He can be serious when he has to be.  This is after many attempts for one decent shot.  Crystal would not allow him to do the bunny ears behind her head.  Such a stick in the mud:)
