Thomas, Gordon, Edward, Percy, James, Emily, etc, etc, etc

I don't think I've ever mentioned on here before, but Vince loves trains ;). They rule our lives. Vince thinks the purpose of going to any store is to buy a train. We say we are going to the store, and he says, "buy percy?" or "buy hero?"... and we say no!, we have those trains already! But there are motorized trains and magnetic trains, plus over 40+ different train types (of which we have a few thomas ones, percy's, henry, james, emily, edward, spencer, arthur, bill, ben, douglas, some diesels, etc, etc... omg, I just realized we don't have gordon!)! So as I figure, there is are over 80+ trains that we could actually get. So maybe we really don't have as many trains as I think if we only have 25% of what we could have, right?

Well Thomas came to town so who goes to see them... we do!!! Grandma, Grandpa, Warren (who Vince has dubbed, Wareeen) Vince and me. The actual train ride wasn't as great as the activies within the center. Train tables galore, temporary tatoos, train coloring tables, a video room, a huge giftshop (that we didn't let Vince go in.. because then he would want to "buy percy?" or "buy hero?")

Here's Vince with me, Gordon, Percy, and James...

and with Wareeen too...

During the actual train ride, we told Vince we were riding Annie and Clarabel, Thomas's coaches. He liked the ride... which is not evidenced in these pictures...

Grandparents and Grandkids... the boys are a bit serious, but at least everyone is looking!

and...... Sir Topham hat!!! Vince did not like him... he kept sayin... no Toppy hat, no Toppy hat. Even when he sees pictures he says that.

Maybe next year we'll just participate in the activities and not ride the train... which we didn't even get a picture of...ggrrr..
