Train Show

A couple of weeks ago looking in the newspaper I saw that a train show was coming to sandy. I made sure I marked that in my calendar.
The entire Exhibit was great. There was nothing over whelming or a lot of walking to do; things were set up so nicely that it was fun to move from one exhibit to the next.  





And of course this wouldn’t be a good show if it didn’t have a Thomas the Train display. This particular table was the delight of my kids. They could name each and every engine’s name on that display. That gray one on the left is Spencer. Oh yeah! They love finding an Engine with their daddy’s name.

Some of the exhibits were so amazing.  I mean they made you feel like they were real trains going around.  I had to keep an eye on Grandpa and Josh who seemed to be in Heaven looking at all those trains.
They even had a big Thomas the Tank Engine ride for the kids to ride on. Grandma Smith kindly volunteered to make the line to ride on Thomas while we looked at the displays. She had to stand in line for 30 minutes!. All the kids appreciated her sacrifice.
I would just like to mention on this picture you can tell Andrew has no idea what’s going on, Julia is obviously not in her element (girly stuff) and Josh well his dorky smile says it all. He had the best time of his life.

After the show we brought Jacob to our house. Jacob wanted to hang out with Josh and Andrew wanted Jacob all to himself it was pretty funny.
At the end of the day all the boys had a bubble bath together and Julia and Josh went to bed while A.D. was left to roam free with his new found best friend.

They tumbled together, climbed on blocks together and gave each other plenty of hi-5s and knuckles until 11 that night. Andrew really loved having someone his size to play with him, we’re going to have to do it again.
There were Lego trains, yes! LEGO trains, with cities made out of Lego surrounding them; there were miniature trains that you had to look in really close to catch them going this of course required miniature backgrounds. Here are a couple of pictures of my favorite ones.
