Day Out with Thomas

Once again this year, we drove down to Connersville, Indiana for the Day Out with Thomas.

Brendan was so funny on the way down, adamant that there would be Trackmaster Trains to play with (there was a tent there last year that had games and toys for the kids.)   We kept telling him that we weren't sure that it would be Trackmaster, but we were sure that there would be things to do.   And guess what, the little man was dead on!  Inside the tent there were several tables set up with track and Trackmaster trains for the kids to play with!

The kids had a blast playing in the tent while we waiting for our turn to ride the train with Thomas.  

Soon, it was time to board the coaches that Thomas would pull down the track.

 It was actually very warm that day.  Brendan was very excited the whole trip, but a little scared of the loud whistles...hence the worried look here.  :)

Ice cream break. :)

Then we rode on the Caboose Train.  You ride in one of three? cabooses or a coach on a track parallel to the track that Thomas comes down, so you end up seeing the Thomas train come by twice!  It's really neat and the kids of course enjoyed it.  We even got brave and sat up high in the upper seats of the caboose.
