The full family picture at the end of the day.
The post Thomas melt down. He was sooooo tired.

The look on Cooper's face pretty much says it all.
Cooper reaction to the conductor was to hide. He wouldn't even look at him.
There was a small petting zoo. Cooper touched EVERY animal.
Waiting for the amazing Thomas tattoo.
Cooper standing by Thomas. There was a HUGE line and really does he have to be standing NEXT to him? I didn't think so!

The start of the journey!
Cooper had to touch EVERYTHING that had Thomas on it.
I had to hold him for this picture!

Grandma and Hanky Panks

Hurray, hurray, Thomas the Tank Engine came to Utah! I say that as my wallet was much lighter after buying tickets to that Cooper could see the love of his life in person. Remember it was May when Thomas came, yet we were freezing in 50 degree weather with a little rain. Are you kidding me? Grandma Debra came with me and the two boys to Heber City. It was great. We rode the Heber Creeper for about 25 minutes. Cooper was more excited about the tramps and swings in people's backyards than anything. The condutor came by and I wanted a picture of Cooper with him. That was a HUGE mistake. Cooper was terrified. He curled up against the window and would NOT sit by him. After the conductor left, he made me hold him the rest of the ride. Hank slept through the whole thing in Grandma's arms. After we finished the ride we tried to take a picture with Sir Topum Hat(the dumbest name EVER) and Cooper would NOT do that either. He got a tatto on his hand of Thomas and loved that. When Cooper saw Thomas in real life, that was worth the whole day. He was thrilled. We went in the gift shop and people were buying trains by the arm full. We left with the free magnet picture frame. Plenty for us! Hank was great. He slept the whole time. I am very glad he was free. Cooper
