July 2005 Berkeley Birthday Party Photos
We celebrated Berkeley's third birthday today since it coincided with "A Day Out With Thomas". Berkeley is a big fan of Thomas the Tank Engine. So, when we heard that a life-sized Thomas was coming to town and found out that the visit was to be in July, we decided that we had to plan Berkeley's third birthday around the event.

The tickets sell out well in advance, so we had to buy the tickets back in March or April. So today's party was a long time in the planning process. In the afternoon, Berkeley and a few friends and family went to the Snoqualmie railway station. Berkeley got a big grin on his face when he saw the life-sized Thomas for the first time. It was cute. We snapped some pictures (see below for link) with him standing in front of Thomas with the whole family.

We took a little ride on Thomas and he pretended that we was on "Annie" (one of the passenger cars that Thomas pulls around). Then he and the rest of the kids jumped around inside an inflatable bouncy train (see below for link to pictures). They seemed to like jumping better than anything else.

Immediately following the afternoon activities at the railroad, we hosted a small dinner. The Sorensons, Thurmonds, Sharps, and Gendreaus were able to attend. The kids played on the grass and at "Berkeley's Park" and in the sand and had a great time running around while the adults had a very pleasant evening chatting and eating. It was threatening rain in the afternoon when we left for the railway, but it was perfect weather in the evening.... nice, sunny, and mild. It was very relaxing.

Berkeley was quite happy to receive several presents at his party, including some Thomas-themed toys from Kate and Isabella Schei, the Gendreaus, the Sorensons, and (of course) Mom and Dad. He also got a new trike, some basketball warm-ups (with matching arm bands) from the Thurmonds, and a tee-ball set from the Sharps (he has already clocked Elizabeth with the plastic bat... oops).

Here are some sample images from the party:
