A day with Thomas and a weekend with Family!!

Talk about the ultimate MOM, Tenille planned a birthday outing with Thomas the train for Nash's second Birthday. We looked forward to this all day and when we arrived in Heber the kids were not disappointed. They eagerly stood and watched the passing cows and homes and listened to the music as they rode. Garrett was out of town this weekend and when Kenedy had the chance to talk to him she said "Dad, we rode Thomas and it was the BEST!! It was so cool". They also got to groom some animals, listen to story hour and play with huge bubble wands. Not to mention the dinner of choice for Gavin was Cheetos, and Kenedy picked Cotton candy!!!! We will try to catch up on the veggies sometime this week.

Kenedy was in her own little world. she was simply mesmerized by the ride. Thanks to Tenille for lending us her jacket. I didn't even think that it might be a little chilly. (DUH).
Gavin, Jake, Kenedy and Torrah had a blast with the bubble wands. ( Don't let the kids fool you, Jake and Torrah were over there long before my kiddos arrived).

Our attempt to hike up to Mt. Timpanogoes was short lived when about a 1/2 mile up a park ranger stopped us and told us we were not allowed to have strollers on the trail, I had completely disregarded the HUGE sign informing us of this and let Gavin sleep while I pushed him up. The ranger then continued to tell us that all tickets to the cave were sold out for the day.

"oh well, we tried right"?

So instead we headed up to Tibble Fork to throw rocks in the lake. Hundreds of others had the same idea.

And last but definitely not least we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Welch's for a BBQ. Lots of good food was consumed this weekend and great family company. The holidays are the best, I think we need more of them.
