A few weeks ago, Aaron called me while he was working to say that he'd seen Thomas the Tank Engine being pulled down the highway on a flatbed truck, and after a bit of research we learned that he was on his way to the Illinois Railway Museum for their semi-annual Day Out With Thomas event. Well, since Micah is quite the train fanatic and Pops still plays with them too, we decided this would be a fun thing to take the kids (Micah, Caleb, and Pops) to. :) It was a beautiful day and we had a great time looking at all of the train displays, model railways, and of course, riding on Thomas! I think we were all a bit curious as to just how interested Micah would be in this, but we weren't even there for 5 minutes before he was pointing at the trains and pointing and "ooh-ing" over the different exhibits! I guess when you love something, it doesn't matter how young you are (or how short your attention span usually is). :) We stopped in to look at a model railway display, and after about 5 minutes started to head out... but Micah wasn't done looking! He was on Aaron's shoulders as we were trying to leave and literally grabbed onto the door frame and stopped Aaron from leaving, as if to say, "hey! I'm not done in here yet!" :)

That is one tired, but happy, boy ~
Another 3/4 family picture... I promise Caleb was there, he just slept most of the day! :)
