We spent yesterday morning with Thomas the Train.<\/p>\n

Luke was so excited to see a real, big Thomas and getting to ride in a “freight car” (as Luke called it) pulled by Thomas, was the highlight of his day.<\/p>\n

I had picked up two\u00a0engineer hats, Thomas wristbands, and some balloons at the party supply store a couple of days ago (much cheaper than buying them at the event). I surprised the kids with them at different times during the day. Luke wore his hat the entire time. Adam wasn’t as crazy about it (he had a hard time seeing past the brim).<\/p>\n

They had a bunch of different things set up to do after the train ride. All three of our kids loved the bubble machine (Maggie especially).<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3779\"<\/a>She liked to stand right in front of it and laugh as the bubbles attacked her.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3795\" \"IMG_3789\"<\/a> \"IMG_3790\"<\/a>Adam and Luke really\u00a0enjoyed\u00a0the hay bale maze.<\/p>\n

These next three pictures are some of my favorites from the day.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3809\"<\/a> \"IMG_3810\"<\/a> \"IMG_3812\"<\/a>We watched the group after us leave for their ride and were surprised to see that Thomas talked as he was leaving (his mouth and eyes moved too).<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3816\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They also had a bounce house, train tables set up to play at, a tent where they play Thomas movies and read stories, live children’s music (the same guy we saw at the mall a few weeks ago actually), and performers on stilts (sorry Stacy) that juggled and made balloon animals.<\/p>\n

We had a great time. All three kids enjoyed it and were really, really well behaved. It was a fantastic\u00a0start to a fabulous family fun day.<\/p>\n
