A Day Out With Thomas

Last October, some friends of ours took their son to see the REAL Thomas the Train. After hearing how awesome it was, we had to take Brooks this year...especially considering he is a freak when it comes to Thomas and McQueen!

So...Saturday we took Brooks to ride the real Thomas! And...since Kay Kay and Gandaddy live close to Cordele, they got to go, too! I started trying to explain that we were going to ride Thomas towards the middle of last week, but Brooks never really understood. Mentioning it just made him want to watch his Thomas movies! Friday night (the night before we got to ride Thomas) my wheels finally started turning and I got the idea to show him pictures online from last year's event. It's a good thing it took so long for me to get a bright idea...Brooks talked about Thomas ALL night! He would roll over in his sleep and say, "Thomas...Thomas." Then, at 7:30 the next morning (the day we went to ride Thomas) he woke up asking for Thomas again. This was strange because he ALWAYS wakes up asking for Kay Kay when he's at her house. We spent the whole morning watching Thomas movies at my parents and then we watched more Thomas movies in the car ride all the way to the park. It was truely a day full of Thomas! When we finally got there, I thought Brooks was going to hyperventilate and we couldn't see anything but the signs! Then...when we actually made it to Thomas, he was just in awe! Ryan and I thought he would go nuts, but he was actually pretty mellow. It seemed like he just didn't know what to think! Funny! There were so many precious moment that I didn't want to leave out so I am posting tons of pictures. Enjoy!

On the trolley ride to see Thomas....so cold!

So many train tables...so little time!



"THOMAS!!!!!!"

So excited!





We passed the Marina where Ryan and I had our wedding reception on the train ride. It's strange to think that Brooks wasn't even here back then!


Our $8 Thomas balloon popped twice!!




"Bye Thomas!"



Brooks wanted nothing to do with Sir Toppam Hat...




This Thomas was made of Legos...
