Joshua's Day Out with Thomas!

This was supposed to be the year Joshua and Luke get birthday parties, but when we saw Thomas the Tank Engine was going to be visiting a mere 3 hours away (!!), we decided to take a day to visit Thomas instead of planning a birthday party--that Joshua really didn't want anyway.
We left right after church and none of the kids knew where we were going, but I packed this Thomas shirt--Joshua's favorite shirt--and some toys for all of the boys.
 It's Thomas!
 There were several activities besides just riding Thomas. The boys liked this inflatable train maze.

 Micah wanted to try climbing a rock wall!
 Apparently the girl next to him said, "I'm going to beat you to the top." That was the wrong thing to say to Micah. He raced to the top, came down, then did it again!
 Joshua wanted to try, too. He didn't quite get the hang of it this time, but next time I bet he will!
 Joshua and Paul in front of the passenger coaches that Joshua called Annie and Clarabel--what else?
 All but one of us was excited to ride the train! 
(Eli had this face almost the whole day, but we didn't let it ruin our fun.)
 Micah loves Luke!
 Joshua had fun looking out the window at the diesel on the other end of Thomas' coaches.
 (And he found a friend giggling with him outside the window.)
 After our train ride, all the boys cooled off with a snow-cone before heading home.
  Eli said this was the best part of his day.
Joshua enjoyed all of it, which was really the point anyway. :-D
