On Friday, we traveled to Burnet to spend the "A Day Out with Thomas".
Actually, we left Thursday evening and traveled to the North side of San Antonio.
Haddie & Jerry got all dressed up in their Thomas gear. We kept the trip a surprise. Little Jerry had no idea what we were going to do - just that it was a surprise. All Haddie knew was that it was way to long to be in a car seat.
Then we took pictures with Thomas - you can kind of see that he was "pulling" about five coach cars. There were 2 other engines at the other end assisting Thomas. When it was our turn to go up to Thomas to take a picture - Jerry got a little scared - Thomas was BIG. "MOM, THOMAS IS GOING TO GET ME!!!"
Then came our turn to ride with Thomas. I don't know if we boarded Annie or Claribell (an original 1925 coach car). Little Jerry was so excited when the conductor (dressed just like the one in the show) came by to punch our tickets. Then came the yell "All aboard - next stop Island of Sodor!" Even though we were in the third car - Thomas' "PEEP PEEP" steam whistle was very loud. Off we went on our 2.5 mile ride to Sodor (a push-pull through Burnet). The ride lulled big Jerry to sleep.
Haddie & Jerry waved hello to everyone we passed in Burnet - I mean Sodor.
Saturday we got up early and went to the zoo. This was Jerry's second time and Haddie's first time going to the zoo. Haddie is a total Daddy's girl. I love this picture!
The most interesting part - for the kids- was the Coati poop. LJ is still talking about how the Coati came over the glass and pooped and the flies came...so interesting. As you can see, Haddie had to squat down to see the poop too!
Jerry is going to kill me for this one... I don't even know what to write...
He is brushing a goat!
We ended our adventure with a Zoo Train ride - which lulled Haddie to sleep.
