We made some memories today. Here he is... Thomas the Train! We loved our ride on Thomas the best. He puffed white smoke as he pulled his passenger coaches down the track. I guess all the Thomas videos and books have paid off. Mama and Sam could answer all the conductor's questions on the train. Thomas pulls Annie and Clarabel - Sam said we were riding Annie (Thomas's favorite.)
All sacked out after a a fun day out with my favorite character - Thomas the Tank Engine. Toot Toot. Notice, he is not about to let go of Salty and the Ocean Cars. We found these in the souviner booth. I looked on vacation but couldn't find them!
Here we are! We packed up and headed 3 hours to see Thomas the Train. It was worth the ride. There was so much for Sam to take in!
OK, so he doesn't look so proud here, but even after we got home, he said Ma, "Look it, a Thomas paper!"
After our ride - it was a lot of fun - Sam was not sure what to think, but Dan and I really liked it a lot! We made some memories for Sam so we can remind him often.
I know, I know - we have these at home (well, not the Thomas brand). Anyway it didn't mater to Sam, I think he could've played at this spot for hours. As it was, we spent about 30 minutes at this spot.
Another free train ride included in the price of admission. It went pretty far from the start, Sam looked kinda nervous by the end. We had a wonderful day making precious memories.Some included:
1. The drive - it was solid 3 hours and we estimated a little under that. We got there just in time for bathroom and then boarding the train.
2. Nank you - Sam has finally begun to say Thank you - a small victory - and he uses it all the time.
3. Peaces - Yesterday at my Great Aunt's funeral the preist said to offer each other an appropriate sign of Peace. Dan kissed Sam and Sam picked up on this and now calls kisses Peaces.
4. Watching Sam next to the real live Thomas!
5. Enjoying the souviner tent.
6. Singing the Thomas song and wearing the conductor hat in the car.
