Riding Thomas the Train!

We went up to Boone last weekend, and Grady was lucky enough to get to go to Tweetsie Railroad where Thomas the Train made a special appearance! :) (Thanks for the free passes Granny and Gramps!) We actually got to ride on Thomas, and although Grady was a little apprehensive of the loud whistle (he has a thing with loud noises), he had a lot of fun! He also got to jump in a Thomas bounce house, which he of course loved. We all rode the carousel, and Landon loved it most of all! He smiled and laughed the entire time....He also really enjoyed riding the train and looking out over the side.


The next day we went to Grandfather Mountain, which is always lots of fun! (Thanks again Granny and Gramps for the free passes!) We had a little picnic, and then went to see the bears, cougars, deer, eagles and otters. This year we did not venture over the swinging bridge... as you can imagine it made us a little nervous to have an almost 3-year-old who isn't scared of anything walking across a swinging bridge!

In other news, our friend Eileen paid us a visit a couple of weeks ago on her way to NYC! Eileen and I met in Ireland in 2000 when we were both doing a work abroad program. :) Grady and Landon clearly love her! :)


We also paid a visit to the Pulley family, who just added a new member - Matthew! Here are Landon and Matthew enjoying some play time!
