Bailey's First Love

Believe it or not, my tweenage, Justin Bieber, Big Time Rush lovin' daughter was at one time a bit of a tomboy.  Case in point: She loved Thomas the Tank Engine.  Trips to Target and Walmart during Bailey's younger years led to quite a collection of diecast and wooden engines and accessories which we have been able to pass on to my nephews, Austin and Graham.  For 3 years we also visited Thomas when he made his stop in Boone, IA at the Boone Scenic Railrood.  On September 17th we had the opportunity to visit Thomas again with our family after a 5 year hiatus.  But don't tell Bailey's friends that I posted her picture of A Day Out With Thomas because "It's kind of embarrassing Mom".
