Day out with Thomas





 
What a fun day!  Maya was so excited and Seamus just loved all the noise of the trains.  Kevin had never been to Strasburg Railroad either so for 3/4 it was a first.  I had never seen Thomas before but I had been to Strasburg when I was a kid.  It was a beautiful day...cold....but beautiful and just a wonderful experience for all!

Happy Halloween

Every year we go to my old neighborhood where I grew up to go trick-or-treating with the kids. (grammy and/or pop-pop usually come along too!)  It's so much fun to go to houses where I used to go as a kid.  The same people (only older), some of the same decorations, running into people I played with growing up (now with their own kids), and still passing the same houses of people who still don't give out candy. (bah humbugs!).  I think its hilarious that one night a year people can't be bothered to buy a bag of candy to help put a smile on kids' faces.  To all you Halloween haters out there...BOO TO YOU!  Then there is others who believe that Halloween is the "devil's holiday."  To those...you're just weird.  Yes, maybe that was the origin but I look at it like some people look at Christmas.  Some people celebrate Christmas for the wrong reasons, sad but true.  I like to celebrate Halloween for the wrong reason!  CANDY, IMAGINATION, and PURE FUN!!!!!  Snow white and a spider....far from evil!  We had a great time!!!!!
