Thomas

Last weekend I attempted to take the kids to see Thomas the Train. Since Seth was at school I was a little hesitant since I had no idea where I was going nor what to expect. Nonetheless I went. As we were getting into the car Brigham fell inside the car and put a gash in his head. The kind you are just not sure what to do about. I tried calling Seth to no avail. I then tried my brother in law who is a paramedic, to no avail. So I decided to ere on the side of caution and I took him to care now. The Doctor said it was borderline and thankfully needed no stitches. However since it was really swollen, bleeding and deep in one spot he put him on antibiotics and assigned a topical ointment. Maybe it was a sign I shouldn't have taken the kids to see Thomas.

Skip ahead a few hours and we finally make it to see Thomas. I was under the impression that the festivities around Thomas were free so I didn't take a lot of cash. I figured we could just walk around and look. I was wrong. To even get in the area where the stuff was you had to pay. ( I was later told that you have to pay once the tickets to ride Thomas sold out, which they were when we arrived) Abby was so excited too. When she saw the Thomas bounce house she started giggling, but when I told her we wouldnt be able to go in it she melted down. I was able to take a few pics of the kids on the outside of the festivities. Some others were doing the same, and I set the kids on the tracks and snapped some pictures. Then some man came out and yelled at us because it was a safety hazard even though we were not on the same set of tracks Thomas was on. But we came and went in a very short time. On the way home the kids were upset with the lack of time we spent but there was nothing I could do about it.

Then come to find out on our adventure somewhere along the way I ran over a nail and woke up to a flat tire. Not to mention its in a spot they wont fix and we just bought the tires a few months ago! Sometimes I wonder why I even try.
