A Day Out with Thomas the Train

Today we went to the train station in Grapevine, TX to ride Thomas the Train.  Here Anna is ready to go!

Before our ride, we did some of the other activities... here we played with some trains...

Then we bounced in the bounce house...

Then we rode a pony... that Anna named Tara.

Then we did the hokey pokey...

Then it was time for our train ride!

We really need to work on Anna's 'cheese'!  haha

We didn't get a picture of the front of the train that was decked out to look like Thomas, because Anna started a fit towards the end of the train ride that I think was because she wanted a balloon that was part of the decorations inside the train.  She kept throwing a fit all the way to the car because she wanted to walk instead of ride in her stroller.  She kept screaming 'walking!  walking!'.  It was our worst fit ever... she finally calmed down on the way home.  Oh me!  At least we had a bunch of fun before our ride!

More Park Fun!

Earlier today, we met our friends for lunch at the park and played for a bit.  It was a nice sunny day, but the park was a bit windy.  The girls had fun, though.  Here they are sharing a swing...

And then Anna thought it would be fun to hold hands.  Rachel thought it was a great idea, too... they stayed that way for quite awhile!

Another Sunshine Day takes us to the Sandbox!!

Today was a lovely sunshine-y day, so after nap we played outside in the sandbox.  I decided to re-enact this photo of my mom when she was pregnant with me.  She was about 1 month from my due date and I'm about 2 months from Luke's.

In this one, I am not sure if Anna was pretending to sleep or enjoying the feel of the cool sand on her cheek...

And here's a video of some play...

Another Sunny Day!!!

We had another beautiful sunny day today, so off we went to the park after nap!  Anna had much fun.  YEA for sunshine!!

YEA for Playing in the Park!

Today it was sunny and in the 60s!!  So, we HAD to go to the park for a bit!!  It was lovely!

Auntie Ang was over and came to enjoy the sunshine, too!

Anna zoomed up this for the first time.

And then... Anna became a tree hugger.  heehee  She hugged all the trees around the park and was saying 'I like trees!'  She also said 'Anna did it!' after she came down the slide.  She's saying sentences.  whoo hoo!

Anna and her Daddy

Here's Anna and her Daddy hanging out upstairs under Daddy's snuggie.  They're getting ready to have fun while Mommy  goes out to Girls' Night!

Hanging out with Mickey

Everytime we go to Babies 'R Us, we have to spend some time with Mickey on the way out.  At least she doesn't realize that if you put money in it, it does something... we've never put the 50 cents in!! :)  Oh, but she does always want my keys to start the golf cart.  And she has to give Mickey some hugs.
