Zig Zag Railway and Friends of Thomas

Hi anyone,

Last Saturday was the long anticipated "Friends of Thomas" at Zig Zag Railway day. Our family group included, us, Zane, Airley, Brad and Cindy and both sets of grand parents. Mariana, Renato, Luca and Marco along with Jeff and Kitty came as well.

The day started early as the Zig Zag railway is 2 hrs west of Sydney. The weather in Sydney has been hot lately, so it was a bit of shock the 9c temp that awaited when we arrived. Very chilly, but we were in the mountains (>3500ft).

The "adventure" includes a ride up and down the now historic Zig Zag railway in some rickety old carriages pulled by "Thomas the Tank Engine". The ride up and down lasts about 25mins, and you spend an hour between trips in a shed full of fun activities for kids and hot coffee or tea for adults (very much needed on this day).

After returning to Clarence Station, we had a picnic lunch - still chilly but luckily it had warmed a little.

I can fully recommend this to any parent with kids into Thomas. Train buffs might like it too!

See you soon.

Aimee and Zane Vid

Hi anyone,

another indulgence...video of Aimee and Zane watching telly. I thought it was cute anyway. Aimee and Zane will be 3 in late August and 2nd week of October respectively.

Sorry, been quiet recently - haven't had too much on to blog about. We did get to the Hunter Valley recently and the farm (Queen's B'day long w/e). Purchased about a dozen bottles...so a fun weekend.

Anyway, I'll blogul8r.

Zane's second B'day

Hi again,

Our nephew Zane turned 2 last week, his birthday was last Saturday.

Aimee enjoyed herself being the only girl at the party and enjoyed playing with Zane's toys. She also enjoyed the egg & spoon race and singing Happy B'day (well the hip hip hooray part at least).

We all enjoyed the "Thomas the Tank Engine" cake :)

It was a fun day, have a look at some photos of the day at Cindy, Brad and Zane's Blog.
