...is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? No, it's Thomas The Train. What a beautiful day we had together today. The weather was great, we headed over to the Strasburg Railroad and got to see Thomas The Train who was there to give rides to all the the good little boys and girls. 
Christopher snapped this picture of him for Chase and any other little ones that like him. The picture on the right is a Thomas made out of Lego's.
We had a really nice train ride, very relaxing and yes we did hear the ghost whistle of a train lost long ago. :-)
We didn't think to far ahead and did pack a lunch to get off at Walnut Grove as Uncle Earl suggested, perhaps next time
After the railroad we headed up the road to The Choo Choo Barn which is a 1,700 square foot Model train layout with over 150 hand-built animated figures and vehicles and 22 operating trains. Oh no what do we have here? A car accident, I hope he wasn't talking on his cell phone while driving.
After the Choo Choo Barn we decided to drive over to Dutch Wonderland. 
We weren't sure we were going to go but decided to throw caution to the the wind and we had such a good time there with the kids. They rode the roller coaster "Kingdom Coaster" about 4 times, we rode it with them twice.
This ride was called 'Turtle Whirle." This picture is in honer of Grandmom Thompson who every time we go to the boardwalk, has to ride the big spinning bears ride. So grandmom, this rides for you.
After Dutch Wonderland it was time for a nap mainly because I fell old and needed a nap (How
I 'm going to last at Hershey remains to be seen) To cap off our night we played a round of miniature golf and pizza at Pizza Hut.
Tomorrow we plan to do some more site seeing and maybe visit one of the caves around here and then we head off to Hershey.
I may be doing a Picasso thing to upload more of our pictures but I'll have to get Shari to show me how it works. And speaking of Shari, here is a picture of my 2 favorite girls.
That's it for today. I'll blog you tomorrow.

Thomas the train! What could be more fun than that?! Thanks for sharing the pics... Chase will love it.
You guys are keeping busy! But it's good to hear your getting your naps, too!
Quick Tip, Tom: In the Hershey's Chocolate World tour/ride, your sitting in a slow-moving vehicle with the lights down low and soft music. Either drink your Pepsi in advance or make the most of an opportunity for a nap that the kids won't notice! :)
Enjoy, guys! You deserve the break!
Chip you are so funny, sounds like us!!
We LOVE thomas too. Even Victoria now is into him.
Shari, good for you coordinating this. Have fun together!
Tom, Keep up the photos, its fun to watch
Wow, this sounds like a great adventure!!! I can't figure out what happened to Uncle Tom though... throwing caution to the wind...who is this imposter?!?!?! Glad you are having so much fun and wish we were there to play with you all.
Does this mean I will have no summer riders on my Tilt-A-Whirl ride? I think I have addicted Chase but are Darlene and Christopher too sophisticated for my little ride now? Someone will have to keep "grandmom" company. She might fall. She will be cranky if we don't humor her. LOL
