a busy weekend with Thomas the Tank Engine

A Couple of weekends ago, Mom and Dad told me that we were going to go see Thomas the Train. I replied, "Guys, Thomas the Tank Engine is a fictional character, living only in my imagination" They were undeterred, believing that Thomas chose to reside in North Conway NH. A short commute of only 3 and 1/2 hours from our home in Quincy.



HOly cow! It really was Thomas! My understanding of reality has been forever altered! But this was pretty cool nonetheless- PS- daddy told me that since I was now 1 year old, I needed to cease with the infantile babbling; big boys use big words. Even if they don't understand them.




I thought this was grampy at first. Turns out it was just a turtle. As usual I showed no fear and petted it.



Daddy was a little hot that day. He's a wimp, but he made it. He even made me wear this stupid engineers hat. Someday I'll get my revenge!


This is just me posing. I'm trying to hook on with a parenting magazine. Think I got the look down?


After a long day of conducting, I relaxed poolside. What is up with all these hats!



Our Friend the lobsterman brought over 12 fresh lobsters. I tried rescuing this one, but dad ate him anyway. Oh the humanity!

trains always make me sleepy too, Oliver. Can't say I blame you for catching a couple winks. Did you get to see James too? And Percy? Love those Thomas trains, even if Sir Topham Hatt freaks me out a good bit!
