Day Out With Thomas...
Today, we took Alexander to Edaville Railroad for a "Day Out With Thomas". He got to go on a trainride with Thomas, get his picture taken with Thomas & see Sir Topham Hat.
He loved the train ride - he was able to see Thomas in the front. Everytime Thomas has steam coming from the top, Alexander made sure to tell everyone. The train took us around the property and we got to see bogs, tractors, birds & fishies in the pond. Alexander got a certificate for being a Junior Engineer and then the engineer came around to punch tickets. Alexander was very excited to be riding on the train.
Besides the ride on Thomas, the Train he went on a few rides. He loved the Merry Go-Round (he went on three times!), and then he rode a bunch of different rides: elephant ride, a turtle ride, a catepillar, and a mini train. Alexander got a little Thomas train & his very own conductor hat - he'll be the perfect engineer next year!
After a little lunch, we went in line to go see Sir Topham Hat and get our picture taken with him. Mind you, Alexander loves Sir Topham Hat in the books & on the movie but something about seeing the character in person - Alexander was not a fan! It didn't help that Sir Topham Hat also looked like the 'Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man' in person.
We were first in line to get our picture taken and he was fine until it was time to stand up next to him. Then he wanted no part of it. We got what we could and then left so we didn't torture the poor kid.
We went inside to check out all of the cool trainsets and then after running around a bit - it was time to go home. Overall, a very fun & successful trip!
(Pictures coming soon)
