Day out on a Steam Train

Thomas Loves Trains, in fact to say Thomas Loves Trains is somewhat of an understatement.

Thomas is mad about all things trains, our (and by our I mean his) favourite day out is to the York National Railway Museum, to which we have to go by bus and train.

So when we decided to go on holiday this year I decided that Tom and I would go by steam train on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Pickering to Whitby and Amie and Jack would go by car and meet us there.

the trip took us 2 hours by train, it was an experience, travelling at a relaxed rate we were able to enjoy the trip, in it is the first time that I have ever seen or heard Tom be quite for such a long time, he looked out the window all the way and expressed his disappointment when the trip was over, snapped this picture about an hour in.

would highly recommend a trip on the NYMR if your ever over that way, you won't be disappointed!

What a great day out!

We went to Birstwith Village show over the summer holidays, there were lots of interesting things to see and do, the boys enjoyed it.

Like all village shows there were some events for the public to take part in, I never have and probably never will take part in this sort of event, Jack is like me and not really into that sort of stuff either.

When they announced the under 5s running race we thought that we would ask Tom if he wanted to take part, fully expecting him to say no, but to everyones surprise he said yes and ran out into the arena to join all the other kids at the starting line.

And to everyone's surprise HE ACTUALLY WON THE RACE.....WAY TO GO THOMAS!!!!

The picture above is him showing off the medal he got! Sometimes they just amaze me, was so proud of him.
