Today we took the kids to Heber City to have a "Day out With Thomas". Here they had a life size replica of Thomas the Tank Engine. He travels all over the United States visiting various train depots. We purchased tickets to actually ride the train (provided by the Heber Valley Railroad) that was pulled by Thomas the Tank Engine. The train ride was only about 20 minutes but the kids had a great time seeing Thomas. The weather was cool and we managed to make it through our time there without getting rained on. The kids enjoyed the activity area, getting temporary tattoos, and getting balloons. We even got to take a ride on a "Speeder" which is a motorized vehicle that was used by rail workers to get around. (Before the fancy trucks and SUVs with flanged wheels used on the tracks.) There was just enough room for our family and the driver. The kids really got a kick out of that! We stopped for lunch at the Dairy Keen aka The Train Restraunt where we had good lunch and yummy ice cream treats. We did a little bit of geocaching around the area and then headed home. Both of the kids racked out on the drive home. We had a fun day!!

Oh, my goodness...what a fun day! Bella would have loved that!
We went to this event when it was in Snoqualmie (just outside of Seattle) last year. The kids had a great time, especially Hayden, who was 4 at the time and absolutely obsessed with Thomas!
What a fun day. The kids look like they had a great time.
