Thomas

This is what we got to do over the weekend. 



Once a year, Thomas comes to our local railroad for three days. And since I have a 2 year that adores all things train, we had to go. 



We have one of the few remaining coal power steam engine railroads left. What was once a vital link to the outside world for Durango is now a tourist attraction and an obsession for a toddler. We see the train going though town often and she screams every time she thinks she hears the whistle. 


The regular train ride to Silverton is a very painfully slow adventure that I will not take with children, but short 30 minutes trips like Thomas and Polar Express are perfect. 


Ryan as he always is with a phone glued to his ear.



The tracks go through town and then along the river.
