Thomas the Train comes to Texas

Ronin was very interested in trains, specifically Thomas the Train starting before Christmas.  Santa brought him LOTS of trains, tracks and other train related "stuff".  Since Christmas, Ronin has really shown almost no interest in trains, however, when I asked him if he wanted to go see Thomas, he replied "yes, Mommy!".  Bill and I decided that it would be fun for him to go and that it might possibly inspire that love of trains again. 

Saturday had been a beautiful day with warm temperatures.  Sunday was NOT!  It was cold and cloudy, and we were there first thing in the morning.  This did not phase Ronin.  All he cared about was seeing the live size Thomas the Train and riding it.  While we were waiting in line to get on, Ronin kept repeating "I'm ready!".  He really enjoyed his first trip on a train.  He sang along with the music and clapped his hands with the other children.  Afterwards, we walked around checking out other train "stuff" and Ronin saw a Firetruck.  He had the biggest smile on his face when he got to sit in the mini truck and talk to the real Firemen.  It ended up being the highlight of the morning. 

After leaving Grapevine, we were all hungry and decided to stop for breakfast.  Ronin must have really worn himself out, because I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM EAT THAT MUCH!  Just a few minutes after leaving the diner, Ronin passed out in the car.  He had a great time!
