Baylub has always liked the show Thomas the Train. Not his fav, but he likes it fine. My bro and his wife are here visiting from Ohio (medical school) and we thought we should do something fun all together. So, I, Suzanne, Mom, Jessie, and all the grandkids drove up to Heber to meet Thomas.
We took a 25 minute ride on Thomas. Oddly enough, Thomas's passenger cars were so old, it made me feel like I was back in Ukraine. Here is Baylub on the train right after he got LOST!
That's right, it finally happened. I lost my son. I took him out of the stroller, bent down to get Lulu out telling him to go run by his cousins who were two feet behind me, the next thing I know, I can't see him anywhere. It was insanely crowded with people everywhere. I stayed surprisingly calm through the whole ordeal. I contacted security, we searched for about fifteen minutes on and off the train. While standing on the train, I spotted him being carried by an employee on the other side of the tracks. He wasn't fazed a bit, didn't even know he was lost.
Here is some of our party enjoying the ride (which was actually pretty boring). The other activities were a blast though. I highly recommend going. Lulu was feeling so sick but she stuck it out so well. What a sweetheart.
Suzanne, Daniel, and Maren.
Along with the petting zoo here, they had huge bubble wands, a large toy area with tables filled with trains and train tracks, a tent with a detailed lego city with a moving train driving throughout, Mr. Topamhat, and live shows including a a magician and musicians.
It was for sure Baylub's cup of tea. He could have stayed there for hours more than we did. I felt bad making him leave, but Lulu had had enough and I could tell he himself was getting tired. He zonked out right when we started driving. He is getting a lot better at his picture smile so I had to show an example.
Thank you for such a fun day, Meema!

Check out those baby blues! He's for sure a knockout :)
We went yesterday and Aidan LOOOVED it. He's obsessed with Thomas. But we didn't see the bubble wands, :(
I am really forgetting things or did I not know that you were pregnant? I just saw your ticker and now my mind is spinning- Did you announce this? Really, I am racking my slow brain (and it is extra extra slow right now) to try to know if I already knew this. If I have said congratulations already, I am sorry but you'll have to hear it again-Congratulations! And I do apologize for being so slow...
We're just about the same far along-ness. How exciting!
Baylub is so cute! I can't believe how big he is! And... I noticed the ticker too!!! :)
Congratulations!!!!
That does sound like a lot of fun! How long does it go on for? Kinnie has only watched Thomas a few times but she likes it and would probably love to go up there. Your kids are getting so old. I didn't notice the "ticker" but just read that comment, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Yay for another CUTE Mills baby!!
That looks like a fun day. I'm sorry he got lost! I'm sure you handled it much better than I would have.
What a fun day! I didn't do a post on this outing so I'm glad that you did. I still can't believe how calm you stayed when Caleb was lost, I was so impressed.
Am I the only one who was unaware of Caleb's name change?! :-)
Congrats on the baby! It looks like we're all in the same boat, you'll just handle like a trooper, unlike me. :-)
that is so sad about caleb getting lost! so so glad you stayed calm and found him soon! and jorgen would be so jealous if he knew that you guys saw thomas! my son is OBSESSED! i want to take him some day! how fun! glad you guys had a great time!
