A Weekend Away...

We headed south one weekend and spent some time in Lancaster, PA!  My sister actually lives really close to the area so she met us there for a fun weekend with three kiddos in tow.  

If you haven't been to Lancaster, I highly recommend!  It's right in the middle of Amish Country, a far cry from the NYC suburbs.  I don't know why but I just love looking out the windows and watching all the farms, people working in their yards, and taking in the much slower pace of life.  

Now, there was a reason we headed this way...what were these boys looking forward to?!?!?!





Yes...we were here to see Thomas the Train!!!!!!!!!  I really think Andrew was in his little piece of heaven---he is my choo-choo loving boy.  We headed down this way to spend some time at A Day Out With Thomas.  

 

The boys even got to be pulled on real coach cars by Thomas right through the middle of the Amish countryside...





 When we were all done, there were several train-related activities, toys, puzzles, and much more to keep these boys busy!


We finally headed out, grabbed some lunch, and headed to the hotel for some swimming!  No pictures here as I was too busy corralling these two in the pool since Chris "accidentally" forgot his swimsuit:)  Instead of heading out with three tired boys, we ordered pizza in at the hotel with no plates or silverware.  But it beat taking an exhausted 22 month old out for a late dinner!  Finally, we ventured out for some fresh homemade ice cream before the six of us (Jill, Chris, Jack, Aiden, Andrew, and I) all crashed in ONE room.  Somehow we survived the night and ventured off for another adventure.  More to come...
