Thomas

Blogger seems to have a mind of its own about where it wants to put my pictures.  Sorry about that.  Friday we went up to Boone to go see Thomas at Tweetsie.  We had a wonderful day!  The weather was beautiful, the lines weren't bad, and the kids were so good!  We arrived just in time to hop on our train.

Amelia was only 3 months old the last time we went to Tweetsie.  It was fun to watch her experience everything for the first time:

Seth was a good big brother and rode with Amelia on all the rides.

And then Amelia did Seth one better and rode the ferris wheel with me.  Seth chickened out at last minute.  Which was probably a good thing.  We were the first car loaded, so we waited a long time before the ride even got going.  It was hard enough keeping Amelia still for that long! 

Instead of heading home, we went south and stopped in Hickory.  The kids were asleep so we drove Nathan's race route.  It is amazing to see how much the city has changed in the past ten years.  We took a quick swim in the hotel pool and had the best Olive Garden experience we've ever had.  We met up with the Johnstons at Chikfila and sent the kids home with their cousins for the night.  Tweetsie and a sleepover with cousins?  Best day ever!
