Thomas the Tank Engine Rolling Along...

Parker's love for trains began last year on his 1st Birthday when our friends, the Dunlap's, gave him his first train, James, from Thomas & Friends.  His love for Thomas has continued to grow immensely, so when we saw that Day Out With Thomas was coming to Chattanooga, TN we decided to get tickets for our family.  On Saturday, April 24th our family took a road trip to Chattanooga to see Parker's favorite cheeky little blue engine, Thomas! 
As you can tell by the dark clouds in the pictures, a huge storm was coming!  But, it was all worth it as we got to see Parker's reaction! 
He was so excited!!!
The girls were excited to be sharing this day with their baby brother.
Parker kept pointing and yelling out the names of all the trains he saw!
Thank you Grooms family for the Day Out with Thomas shirt!  It was perfect! 
The girls got "Thomas & Friends" tattoos.
Parker loved the tent with all of the wooden Thomas tables and tracks.
I think he would stand and watch Thomas pulling in and out all day!

The LORD was so sweet to hold off on the rain until it was time for us to wait in line to board at 12:00.  Then it started to pour!  Parker didn't care, he was beside himself with excitement!
Here are my sweeties riding on Thomas!
Parker loved looking out the window as we rolled along...
I love this picture below.  If you look closely, you can see his reflection in the window!
We had such an amazing time together even though we got completely soaked!  It wouldn't have been a true Buhl Family adventure without a little extra excitement, right Jonathan?!?  I am so thankful for my family and the time we get to spend together enjoying each other's favorite things. 

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and in truth.

I miss train days with Alex, but he will play with his trains every now and then! :)
We went to Day Out with Thomas for Alex's 3rd birthday, such a fun day!
