Needless to say, I come from a long line of train lovers. So, it should come as NO surprise that Mr. Logan fell in love with choo choos around Christmas time. He LOVES them. Going to grandpa's house has become Logan's favorite thing to do so that he can see his favorite person (grandpa) and watch him run the choos choos on the train board. In addition, we still have an active train track that runs right through our downtown....so we get to see them on a regular basis and can hear their whistle daily at our house. Logan gets so excited whenever we see them. Heck, I now get so excited whenever I see them because I love watching his reaction. In fact, I now find myself wishing for a sighting every single time we drive through a certain spot in town that parallels the train tracks. As a result of this obsession, Logan took to Thomas the Train like a fish to water when I first popped in a DVD that I had purchased online a few months ago. It was love at first sight. And when I saw a commercial for a Day Out With Thomas on this DVD, I immediately remembered seeing one nine years ago when Ron and I were staying at the Salish Lodge the day after we got married. So, I knew that one came to our area years ago and hoped that it still did. I hopped online and found out that indeed a Thomas the Train still comes through the little town of Snoqulamie every July! I was thrilled and quickly bought tickets for our little family to go, plus Lola who would be visiting from Chicago. After months of waiting, the day finally arrived today and off we went to ride our favorite tank engine. As you can imagine, Logan was so excited.

Logan loved the tent full of little train sets that they allowed the children to play with. He wandered around several tables and tried them out.
I could barely get Logan to look up at me he was so focused on the trains.

We did that a couple years ago when T was totally into trains. Fun day! Looks like your MIL is in town? You back from Priest Lake?
