Day Out with Thomas

Every year, an event is put on in Connersville, IN that a life size Thomas the Tank Engine is brought into town. Kids and grown-ups are able to ride in carriages/coaches that are pulled/pushed by Thomas the Train. As always Brendan was a little bit unsure initially, but quickly warmed up to the idea. We lucked out in the weather department, in that when it did rain a little bit, we were on our train rides.

Excitedly waiting for Thomas to pull into the station!

They had a tent where kids could play with small trains, as well as color and play with chalk.


Katelyn got in on the fun too

In addition to the Thomas train, there was another train made up mostly of cabooses and one carriage that everyone could ride on as well. This train went on the same track as Thomas, but pulled off onto a siding so that all the kids got to see Thomas the Tank Engine going by on the tracks.


"Bye-bye Thomas, thanks for a great day!"
