We had the best time this weekend for Jackson's 3rd birthday! I took off work on Friday, and we headed down to Rusk, Texas for Thomas the Train. My parents have a cabin down by Rusk, that Jackson calls the Vacation House, that we stayed in. First, he called Sir Toppam Hat and told him we were coming to see him the next day!
Then Jackson and Grandma read a Thomas book while we unloaded and unpacked. Tommy told Jackson, "you stay here" while we unloaded and so all weekend Jackson would look at Daddy and point and say, "you stay here!"
We went out for dinner and let Jackson pick out 3 presents from the store. He chose a book, James the train, and the new Thomas movie, Hero on the Rails. The next day, we headed to the train station to ride on our favorite train!
Jackson loved the train tables set up! There was also a petting zoo, jump houses, a man with a guitar, bubble machines, and huge gift shop that he suckered his Daddy into!
Jackson waited and waited in line and was so excited to see Sir Toppam Hat....until we actually got up to Sir Toppam Hat! He was not going to stand by him and get a picture made...I guess this means no Santa pictures this year!
He loved seeing Mr. Conductor and the engineer! The train ride was so fun! Here is Jackon taking in the view!
The next day, we had a small party with Jackson at the Vacation House. A bunch of sick people (me and my mom) and Daddy, grandma and Jackson. He was so excited! Then, we watched UT beat OU and packed to come home :( Sad to leave, but a great weekend!

When it is just family, you can stick your fingers in the cake! It's the rules, I think!?
We were sad that Papa and Lynny couldn't make it, but they were sick, too! Jackson got a machine for the T.V. that lets you sing and puts your face on the T.V. and a Thomas Train from Wal-Mart that he has told EVERYONE he wanted..."I want Thomas from Wal-Mart!" "peezzee (please)"

We really thought Jackson would love this trip for his birthday this year, instead of a party at home. I am so glad we did it! No stress, just fun family time and going over our memories from the past three years....my baby is growing so much everyday and is becoming a funny and loving little boy. I am so proud of him!
