After a fun outing today to meet Baby Claire (who is downright adorable), Trey requested to go to the "suspension bridge". It took me a while to understand what he meant. Finally it dawned on me that he was remembering the bridge at the park. Although this is not truly a suspension bridge, it looks very much like the bridge in one of Trey's Thomas videos. He was so excited to see the bridge close up. It was warm enough that I let him get out and walk over the bridge too. And of course, we had to feed the ducks our french fries. (Those poor ducks are going to have cholesterol problems and it will be me and Trey's fault). When it was time to go, Trey was a little disappointed. He told me that he hoped "Thomas would arrive from the station to chuff across the suspension bridge". I thought that was quite a concept. Reluctantly, Trey got in the car after I explained that Thomas wouldn't be
coming through. I smiled to myself because just this week I ordered tickets to go on a "real" Thomas train ride in June. I can't wait to see how excited Trey will be to do that!

Are you going to French Lick to ride the "robbery train"? We went several years ago. I would suggest Trey might need to be a couple of years older. Sometimes those horseback robbers could be scary to him yet. Hope everyone is good to go for Easter.
We are going to something called Day Out With Thomas. It will be a real train ride with an engine painted to look like Thomas. There will all sorts of other Thomas activities too. Trey should be in heaven!
