Yesterday we surpised the boys with a trip down to Union, Illinois, to do Day out with Thomas. The boys had a blast. I was really amazed that they did not even start asking about where we were going until we were on the road, and then a simple, "Illinois" was sufficient for about an hour. Then Daniel started to get curious. We told him that it was going to be a surprise. His list of guesses as to what the suprise might be was quite entertaining. First on the list was a marble race track. I've forgotten the rest of them, but one might have been getting peanut butter and liversausage sandwiches. Seriously, who could eat that? I have Matt to thank for that one. So here are the pictures. The boys got Thomas tatoos, and have been avoiding baths ever since Saturday in hope that that tatoos will last longer.
