Thomas...oh and a buggy

I know that at this point I am backtracking... but I didn't want to rush over our last day in Lancaster because it was a day full of absolute fun!!! 

This first shot is how we slept in the hotel room.  Morgan has been counting down the days to when she could sleep with me (since we don't let that occur at home) and RJ was to sleep with Daddy...  well... that didn't work.  As we were getting ready for bed (too late at night) RJ started fussing and raising his little voice that he wanted to sleep with Momma not Daddy.  Morgan wasn't going to have any of that!!!  So here we slept... the three of us in one bed... Daddy getting the other bed to himself! Lots of pillows put on the floor next to each side of the bed, just in case of a faller...

We didn't really sleep this peacefully all night... Morgan fell out of bed three times... the third time sleeping on the floor for an hour or so (I think) before climbing back into bed...  RJ fell out of bed at least three times too... don't let me leave out that the two of them move like crazy while sleeping (I know, I know, they get that from me) but I had arms, hair, hands, behinds, legs, AND feet in my face at some point throughout the night... and let's also not forget to mention at one point RJ was sleeping on top of me!  I tried to enjoy it because I know they won't love me like this forever, but it wasn't a very restful sleep for me!  Nothing a cup of coffee couldn't fix in the morning.  I love those two snuggle bugs!!

Donuts in bed... what could get better than that?  

(AND it isn't our bed... even better!!)

Time to see THOMAS!!!

After a train ride driven by Thomas we went and got some photo opportunities!  RJ was in heaven!  He was so excited to see everything!!

Lego-made Thomas!  Cool!

A story about Thomas

There's Thomas again!!  He is a hard working train!!

Look at ALL the train tables... RJ will never want to leave!!!

Our day visiting Thomas was awesome!!  There were lots of different activities that were 'free' after getting the train ticket.  RJ had so much fun being surrounded by trains everywhere!  We bought him a new Thomas puzzle and a cute Thomas hat.  RJ was so excited to see everything and he was so well behaved!  He was so infatuated... it was so hard when it was time to go!  Seeing the joy on his face made it hard to leave and move onto our next activity... but overall he did not throw a huge tantrum, just a small little fuss and off we went to our next event!

Buggy ride... we took a three mile buggy ride around the farms in the country.  Morgan was the special one and got to sit up front next to David, or driver.  The kiddos seemed to enjoy the ride...  I just wish that the driver would have spoken more and shared some information about the Amish population... but he remained quiet unless we asked him questions...

After the buggy ride Daddy and I did a quick bit of shopping at the outlets before heading to supper.  It was pretty neat... the restaurant we went to had a Noah's Arc buffet for the kiddos.  They enjoyed the kiddo food and did well at supper.

We finished up supper and headed home... after two exhausting days without naps this was the view in the back seat...  I love it!!

I can't believe our Dutch Wonderland/Thomas/Outlets/Hotel/Buggy Ride Stay is over!!  It was a whirlwind of fun mixed in with a lot of quality family time!  Love it!!  So much fun... a bit expensive... but SO worth it to see the joy in my children's faces!!
