Thomas and the Pumpkin

Thomas had fun picking out a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. He really wanted a big one, but couldn't carry it, so he settled for the small, oval shaped one.

Thomas and his First Purdue Football Game

Today we took Thomas to his first Purdue Football game. He enjoyed eating at the tailgate, played checkers with Grandpa and was in awe of the Purdue Marching Band. You can see the Marching Band in the distance of the second picture. As soon as it was time for kickoff, Thomas said it was time to go home. With the help of all, we kept his interest in the game, ice cubes and peanut M&M's. Then it started to drizzle. Then it started to pour down rain. In the first picture, Thomas is drenched as we were evacuated to the practice field while they suspended the game due to severe storms. But there we had special treatment because Uncle Eric now works for the Purdue Athletics. We relaxed in the conference room upstairs. Needless to say, Thomas was out like a light about 5 minutes on the road home.

Thomas and his Building

Here is a picture of Thomas after one of his creative buildings. Actually we made it together and then we put dinosaurs where we thought they should go. All the moms went together and all the babies. The cavemen went in a separate area, although there were no cave people when the dinosaurs roamed.
