Drew finally rides Thomas the Train!

I spent last week in Peoria painting the inside of Megan and Andy's home. I can definitely say they have a huge home after painting there! :-) Friday night when they got home from work we all took off for the farm and arrived around 10:30 p.m. We had to wake grandpa up and tell him hello!

Saturday morning we had tickets to ride Thomas the Train in Boone. The day was wet and very cool but Drew was thrilled to finally see the "real" Thomas and more thrilled to ride on his train. They had many activities to do besides the train ride but the weather did not cooperate one bit. The weather got even worse in the afternoon when Megan and Andy were to golf in a charity event at the Boone golf course (Cedar Pointe). They didn't get to play many holes unfortunately. They returned to the farm in the late afternoon to get Drew and Kayley and returned to the country club for the dinner and dance that evening. Drew and Kayley had a ball dancing....sure wish I would have been there to capture that on video! Late last night we started watching the Iowa game. I was tired and not impressed with Iowa's play and went to bed at halftime. I was sad to hear they roared back the second half only to lose it in the end.

They left a bit before noon to head back to Peoria. It is so quiet when they leave. Too quiet. I have been spending the afternoon going through my clothes and deciding what I want to take to AZ for the winter and bagging items for Goodwill. This weather makes AZ look very inviting right now. I hope it returns to some sunny days as the clouds and misty rain are rather depressing. Guess I am too used to non-stop sunny Phoenix days! Have a good week everyone.
