Thomas the Tank Engine

On Wednesday we went to the Stroudsburg Railroad.  They were having a special "Day out with Thomas," the Tank engine that is.  We went, despite the threat of rain, and I am so glad we did.  We wound up having a beautiful day.  And since the weather looked a little threatening we didn't have quite the crowds we might have.  Grandma had never ridden a train before, and Stella has been talking about how her Mommy was going to take her to the Train Station sometime.  We thought it seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Bruce got a ride from Daddy, in the Kozy.
 There was a very cool mega-blocks Thomas.  I'm impressed!
 Bruce looks adorable in a hat, even if it didn't last very long.
 THOMAS!
 Steam Engine.  We got rides behind both!

 Engine 475, halfway through our ride!
 Did you know that it gets up to 130 degrees inside the engine?  I am glad that I am not the guy shoveling coal into that fire!
