Thomas in Heber

On Friday we drove two hours to see Thomas the Tank Engine, who came all the way from the Island of Sodor to visit his friends in northern Utah.  We found him at the Heber Valley Railroad, along with Sodor Island Railroad Director, Sir Topham Hatt.  Gavin and I took a 20-minute ride on Thomas while Brandon and Vivian hung out with the other visitors.  After the ride, Gavin enjoyed the various activities, including playing with toy train sets alongside other Thomas enthusiasts, and getting a James tattoo on his cheek.  We waited in line to have our picture taken with Sir Topham Hatt, but when it was our turn Gavin decided he was no longer a fan.  The same thing has repeatedly happened with the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.  Afterward we drove down to Sandy to stay the night with Larissa and Blake Bennett, and enjoyed a tasty BBQ dinner with them and Hayley Coombs and Ben Brown.
