A Day out with Thomas

Maya and her cousin Alex have been really into Thomas the Tank Engine recently.  My sister-in-law, brother and I decided to take all of the kids to the Strasburg Railroad to ride on Thomas.   It was fun but Maya was really nervous about riding the bus from the parking lot to the train station and then the big loud trains seemed to scare her as well.  In fact, I was the mom carrying a screaming toddler onto the train while baby wearing an infant.  She did settle down toward the end but refused professional pictures with Thomas and Sir Topham Hat... maybe another year.  Leo was cool as a cucumber with the whole ordeal.
