The Cook Family: Riley's Birthday

What a big weekend for Riley! On Saturday night he opened a few presents and had cupcakes after dinner. Sunday, however, was the main event. The four of us and G&G Coleman went to "Day Out with Thomas" at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie. How lucky that this traveling show was nearby on the weekend of Riley's birthday! It was a beautiful day for the train guru.

After a minute solid of huffing and puffing, the candle finally went out.

He really enjoyed his cupcake. You would think we'd never given him sugar before.

This picture is the first moment Riley saw Thomas the Tank Engine pulling into the station. Sort of like the first time you see Santa Claus, I'm guessing. Unless you hate Santa Claus, of course.

Riley and Tyler on the train. Living the dream, you know.

Some old rusty cars we saw-

Riley was watching this little girl, probably thinking "This girl has no clue what she is doing. Amateur."

After Thomas, we drove home and opened some gifts from G&G.

There's a lot going on in this picture. Riley is playing with a new train he just opened, Maddie is posing with one of Riley's new pirate swords (Yes, pirate swords.), and Grandma Shaaron is filming "incognito" from inside the train. See, mom? I told you I was going to put you in my blog.
