Everytime you found a checkpoint, you got a stamp!Riding Thomas the Train!

Even Grant had fun riding Thomas! This is the first smile I've caught on camera!
In his eight weeks of life, Grant has been on planes, trains, and automobiles! He's a travelin' man! Even if the train only did do two little loops....
THOMAS!!!!!!

Bye Thomas!

Poor Cole! As Thomas was pulling away from the station, he blew his
whistle and it scared Cole half to death!

Thomas Tattoo!!

Playing "trains" with his tater tots

As soon as school got out on the last day, the four of us loaded up the Jeep and headed for Green Bay to visit Ryan's Aunt Sandy and Uncle Bill and their kids, Taylor and Dana. Sandy called a few weeks ago to say that Thomas the Tank Engine would be making an appearance at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay this weekend, so we decided to make a weekend trip of it. We arrived in Green Bay late Friday night (or maybe early Saturday morning) and had a blast seeing the sights of Packerland. We visited the Wildlife Sanctuary, where we saw snakes, coyotes, and all kinds of other animals. We checked out the famous Lambeau Field and enjoyed a beer at Curly's Pub there. On Sunday afternoon we got to see and ride on Thomas the Train, which was likely the highlight of the trip for Cole, with a close second being jumping on the trampoline in Taylor and Dana's backyard. Poor Dana rarely got a break from Cole's pleas: "Let's go jump on twamp-ween!" She was a very good sport. Dana and Ryan had a photo shoot with some sparklers and some experimentation with a slow shutter speed on the camera -- fun! We had a great time during our first visit to Green Bay. Can't wait to see our cousins again in Montana in a few weeks!!
