We've been busy just having some summer fun here....

July 12th - Day Out with Thomas the Train






For the past couple of years, my boys have only watched Thomas the Train come to town from the sidelines of the event....

This was 2010...


So I told Preston this was finally the year we would actually buy tickets and go inside to see Thomas.






We got to go on a train ride, with Thomas pulling the cars...



I got the boys super cute Thomas hats....



They got to meet Sir Topham Hat and get their photos taken with him...



They got to play with trains.... 




And see model trains....







All in all it was fun, and I know they enjoyed it. 

However, I would say it was a lot of money for a lot of things they already do at home :)  We didn't even get a picture with Thomas because I would have had to pay a photographer, and so once again they got pictures outside of a fence by Thomas LOL.


But shhhhhhh, they had fun and that is all that matters. :)

July 14th - Sunday afternoon drive up to the Pacific Crest Trail

We love taking drives after church, and on this day we didn't really know where we were going.  We just wanted kids to nap while we had some time together :) We ended up near the Pacific Crest Trail...



Preston took this next picture...






Monday, July 15th - Fort Casey with Grandma & Grandpa

Our nephew (Mike's son) was in town visiting G&G for a week, and so the boys and I went up to Camano Island and spent the day with everyone on Whidbey Island. Yes it was a lot of driving but fun.
























After Fort Casey, I left the boys with my parents until Wednesday morning and so they got a lot of G&G time, and cousin time as well....









Saturday, July 20th - Mukilteo Ferry

Last Saturday we met G&G at the Mukilteo Ferry and rode it across and had some fun....
