Visiting Thomas and Friends

On Memorial Day, we headed to the Heber Valley Railroad to see Thomas and... friends. Not Thomas' friends, Percy and Gordan and the rest. We went to see our friends.

Balloon Guy Entertainment has been twisting balloons at the "Day out with Thomas" event since 2004. I was involved for several years, including when I was 8 months pregnant with Nichole and 7 months pregnant with Jr. After a while though it gets hard to ask people to babysit your kids for four 10-hour days during Memorial weekend.

Last year and this year we made quick trips to see our balloon twisting friends and some other friends who've entertained there over the years. This year we for sure had to watch the magic show done by Magic Century. We've been entertained by him for years. Our first couple years at Heber we were in the same tent as him, so we were able to listen to parts of his shows while we twisted balloons. This year we sat down right in the front row to watch.

Are you ready for the magic show, Nichole?

It's fun to chat with him before and after his shows. He makes as many jokes in normal conversation as he does during his shows. A definite showman, he is very entertaining.

Now without going back and counting, can you guess how many times I used the term or variations of the term "entertain" in this post?
