The boys have been yelling "all aboard!" for a week. They also have turned empty diaper boxes into train cars and take turns asking for "tickets please".

Grandshe and I took the kids up to see Thomas the Train in Boone Iowa last weekend. It was so cute to see them all in awe of the trains. Each kid gave the conductor their ticket. The boys thought they were so big and cool. While we don't watch the t.v. show, we did check out a few books from the library before our big adventure. The boys enjoyed the 25 minute train ride the best. We played with a few toy trains and jumped around in a hay maze.

Ben kept singing "Do-dit-do-do! I'm a super hero." Then he'd follow it up with "mama, help please!" as he'd try to jump off the hay stacks. Will loved waving to Thomas so much that he was the last kid out of the place because he would take one step, wave, one step, wave, till finally we got to the parking lot.
