A Day Out With Thomas!

 Driving the airplane before the train ride...

 Natty loves being on the train!

 Well, there was a huge line waiting to get their kids picture in front of thomas...and we needed to eat lunch.  So here is my best attempt at getting a 2 1/2 year old to stand still while there are tons of kids/parents all around us.  He is slightly distracted if you couldn't tell.  But he did have the time of his life.  15 minutes into the train ride, Andrew begins saying "all done.  all done".  He wanted off.  Oh boy :)

 Here ya go dad...thought you might like to see all of the old lanterns they had out for display!

 The imagination station was a 2 year old's piece of heaven.  Train table after table set up with tracks, stations, and trains to play with.  Needless to say we had to peel him away from this area!

 Sweet baby...she was so good all day!  Despite not really understanding what all the fuss was about, she supported her brother all the way.

 "This is the most still you will see him all day", said to me by one of the volunteers running the model train area.  And it really was true...Andrew just stood and watched. And watched.  And pointed.  And watched those trains go around the tracks.

 "oooh, mommy.  whoa!"

 Future conductor?  Perhaps!

 Family pic before we board the train!  We were in car #4.  A bit interesting of a ride, considering whole thing was filled with kids 4 and under, singing to Thomas theme music.  And a bit of crying was mingled in there too.  Maybe from our baby. Sorry everyone.  

 Here is the junior engineer, checking out the scenery before we departed!

Of course there were backhoes for kids to climb on!  No event like this would be complete with out them!
