A Day Out With Thomas

Well folks, we took our boys to A Day Out With Thomas this past weekend, and I must say that it was MORE than worth the price of admission. It was simply magical to see them experience this character up close and personal. Paul was especially awed by the experience. Luke was very demonstrative in his response, very rare in this often stoic child. I won't wax eloquent. The pictures and video say it all.

The boys on the bus! We rode a school bus from the parking lot to the train yard. So exciting!

Paul on the train. He mostly cannot believe he is on a real train being pulled by Thomas.

This is so cool!

Our family with Thomas. It was NOT difficult to get everyone to smile.

And then Paul turned around and I got the money shot. This boy is looking straight at his hero. And I don't mind that it is a hulking piece of metal because Paul is so very happy. :-)

And now, prepare yourself for a VERY excited Luke. Part way through he sees me and asks about corn dogs. I had been on corn dog detail, but thought this video more important. You'll see why!
