Thomas

Since Christmas RJ has loved Thomas the train.  He got the train set for Christmas and watches episodes on Netflix.  They have an actual Thomas fake engine that tours the country in the summer, and it came to Utah for Memorial weekend and we took RJ for his birthday present.

We thought the day would blow his mind, but all his pictures he insisted on wearing his hood and never smiled.  I think he loved it because he talked about it for a long time, but just didn't show any excitement while we were there.

He had to wait in line for a while to meet Sir Topham Hat.  RJ was excited, but when he got up there, just like Santa Claus, he didn't want to be there and the guy in the suit tried to touch his shoulder and RJ wriggled away and left.  He looks like he's being forced to be there. 

Finally it was our turn to ride the train.  RJ liked getting his own ticket torn by the conductor.

The cars were super old, one corner had a coal stove in it and the paint was peeling off the ceiling. 

RJ loved being on the train.  The ride was pretty lame, slowly creeping along for about a mile seeing people's backyards, then creeping back. 

But RJ thought it was great.

This is the only picture of Ellaria from the day.  She was good and slept most of the time. 

Rhett bought RJ a glob of cotton candy.  If we ever went to things when I was a kid, we never got concessions, so if I'd just been there RJ wouldn't have been so spoiled.  I'm the mean mom. 

He even got to play a round of mini-golf. 

 RJ loved the Thomas tatoo on his cheek.  He just pouted the whole time in the tub when I had to scrub it off nearly a week later.
