We had quite the adventure this weekend at the "Day out with Thomas" event we took Drew too. We ended up driving a little over 2 hours to get there and then again driving that on the way home, but it was worth it.
Drew kept asking, "Where's Thomas?," when we were driving down there and we told him Thomas was far away and it would take us a while to get to the place to meet him. He actually slept some which was great and woke up 10 minutes before we arrived.
We parked, rode a tram up to the event, and Drew jumped out and started running. It was hilarious! He even took a moment to stop in mid-run to jump up and down with excitement. He was absolutely thrilled. The look on his face when he saw Thomas was just pure awe. He loved it. He didn't care what other things they had going on, he could've stared at Thomas the rest of the day.
First, we just got in line to board Thomas and ride the train. Drew was smiling the whole time. When the ride started, he just stared out the window. Clowns came by and he didn't even care. They were playing Thomas music over the loud speaker and kids were singing. It was too much. After the ride, we went into this large tent full of Thomas stuff and souvenirs to buy. Of course, I knew the prices were outrageous so the only thing we bought was a brand new train that said, "Day out with Thomas," on it and a new Thomas book to read at bedtime. Then, we stood in line for our picture with Thomas. This is the picture we bought of our family with Thomas that will go in his Thomas-decorated room.
They also had face-painting which Drew was not interested in or the temporary tattoos, but they had an activity event to play with gobs of train tracks and trains. They also had food, kid's musical performers, a big Thomas made of legos, and some bouncy equipment. He really just loved watching Thomas pull out of the station for the next ride and pull back in. He also met Sir Topham Hat (the railroad commissioner) and went right up to him, took his picture, and even hugged him which was shocking because Drew usually is scared of characters. All in all, it was a great event - Drew waved goodbye to Thomas and told him that maybe he'd see him next year. What a fun day to be a parent! :)
