Uncle Tosh

My brother came to visit! I was ecstatic-- he hasn't been here for 4 years, so it was about time! Unfortunately, he decimated his foot before coming out, so he was somewhat limited in what he could do.

We took the boys to Amish country to go for a train ride...only to find out they were fixing the tracks in preparation for Thomas to come, and the one train that was running was sold out.

Makett had been counting down his train ride for days and was very excited...then devastated. We were walking around looking at the trains when a man who worked there came and whispered to me that if we hurried we could see a certain blue engine...so we ran, and we overjoyed to see men working on Kett's dear friend, Thomas.

Finding the coal pile was also exciting.

Before Tosh's injury I bought us a Groupon for a Philadelphia Walking Tour...and Tosh can't walk! There was a very sweet Vet in our group who insisted on pushing Tosh in his wheelchair. I didn't realize how bumpy and un-wheelchair friendly the old city streets are!

What determination to do the Rocky steps on crutches!

So much fun. Noah is very jealous. He wants to see Thomas in real life now. He also wants a piece of coal for xmas, so he can "study it."
