Our Week With Thomas

My nephew Thomas came to see us a for a week.  He flew in the day after we got back from Utah.  We had such a great time while he was here.  Here are a few things we did: 
We went to the science museum to the "Grossology" display.   We met B for dinner at the Original Anchor Bar for some delicious wings:
  
We told Thomas that we would trade him Dunkin Doughnuts for Cafe Rio.  He said "throw in Anchor Bar and it's a deal."  Hmmm, have to think about that one.
 On Thursday we went to this awesome Navy Park.  It was really cool to tour the ships and submarine.

 Kate coming up:
 On Friday we walked to Canada.  We took Thomas to visit Niagara Falls.  Here are the kids and "American Falls."
 Here they are at  "Horseshoe Falls."  It was a very long walk to the brink, but we made it & got ice cream to help us on the way back.
 When we got home Thomas made us dinner- Tomato Ravioli.  It was really good! 
 He also made cookies with Kate:
On Saturday he helped Brad build Bruce's new bed.  It's a loft bed with a chain on the 4th corner.  It's great and gives the boys a lot more space to play.
Later that afternoon it was a little overcast so we went to play mini-golf.
 Dinner was at Ted's hot dogs.  Here's thinking of you Stu.
 On Sunday we went to church, played LOTS and LOTS of board games and the kids made this giant cupcake with all sorts on things on top:
 Monday was the last full day that Thomas was here so we took him to Palmyra.  We went to the visitor's center:
 We climbed up the Hill Cumorah, drove around the temple, toured the Smith home, and here are Jane and Thomas at the entrance to the Sacred Grove:
 We also toured the Book of Mormon press building and walked along the Erie Canal.
THANKS FOR COMING TO VISIT THOMAS!!!
