"Four" is not an number that comes easily to mind when I think of my family. We have three kids and five people in the family, so the only time "four" makes sense is when one of us is missing. Like last weekend, when I took the kids to watch
Thomas & Friends Live! The Circus Comes to Town, a musical show featuring Thomas the Tank Engine. I received a complimentary pack of
four tickets -- not unusual, since most things of this nature, from hotel rooms to vacation packages to Space Mountain at Disneyland, are geared towards a family of
four. Alfie didn't particularly want to watch the show, so we decided to forgo buying an extra ticket for him and save the money.
The
four of us went without him and Alfie enjoyed a couple of hours to himself. But when Alfie saw the photos and the
little video clips that I took -- especially the ones of the
four engines moving around onstage with their moving mouths, eyes and eyebrows -- his face got all wistful, and I think a tiny part of him regretted not going. Sure, it was just a children's musical, but the trains were pretty neat (Alfie loves trains), and it was fun just watching the kids' faces as they enjoyed the show.

I love musicals except I haven't been to a kiddie one. That looks like a fun musical to catch.
Very creative theme this week. Four less one.
Great post for this week. ;)
i believe there is fun in numbers..a bigger family is fun
We had the same issues for a while, my youngest sonw ould not sit still for anything so we took the olde rone a few times alone, but luckily with age they both got worse! Kidding, now with age they are easier to take out more together to shows, looks like a great show by the way
Great shot for the theme and a good post. Happy weekend.
