last sunday we took a rather rainy drive out to burnet, texas to surprise the boys with “a day out with thomas.” when we got into town, we grabbed the much loved whataburger and told jack we were going to have a picnic.
the weather couldn’t have been more perfect for one. the sky’s cleared and it was a sunny and 75 degrees kind of day. jack was really excited when he saw where we were going to spend our day. he knows how to hold his smile in. the day involved seeing the “real” thomas the train, picture taking opportunities, coloring, temporary tattoos (which we all got but samuel… he just didn’t have time for that) play train sets galore, a r e a l train ride and of course the best soundtrack of thomas the train sing alongs playing the whole time.
we debated if the drive was worth it or not. we decided it was so worth it. we prefer small town crowds. the boys really did enjoy the day and we enjoyed a little get away with just us as a family. the weather couldn’t have been more perfect and the drive home was made complete with a yummy bbq stop.
who knows what other crazy trips we might take just to get away with you two little guys.
