Our adventure continues..

On Tuesday, we went to Derby, which is a market town in the midlands. We enjoyed the day shopping, and a lunch at a restaurant that used to be a chippy. Ryan got to slide down the Incredible Hulk slide, which was quite an adventure.

Wednesday was our rainiest day yet. It rained consistently all day, which made it not much good for anything outdoors. We took Ryan to an indoor play area, and had a nice time.

Yesterday was a reasonably nice day. It did rain a bit, but not enough to dampen our fun. We went to Drayton Manor, which was a great amusement park for families. They have a few bigger roller coasters, but the big feature is Thomas Land, where all the rides relate to Thomas, and they're all for kids under 1.3 m. Ryan enjoyed all of the rides, and had a nice time picking which adult would accompany him on some of the rides. While the rest of the family had lunch, Deb and Paul went on a roller coaster, which was fun for us, but not too scary.

If you look closely, I think there's a resemblance between Thomas and Paul. :)

Hey Debs, Dad saw the big Thomas the Tanker in Didcot on our way to Oxford. They had a big train all gussied up. Unfortunately Dad felt out of place since the place was overrun with 3 and 4 year olds, so we got back on the train and went to Oxford, which was more age appropriate. We did get a few Pix for the old scrapbook. Love you, Mom and Dad and sis too
