Day out with Thomas

Last weekend, Brad's parents took the boys and I to Day Out with Thomas in Cordele. It was AWESOME! To say that both of our boys LOVE trains and LOVE Thomas, is a gross understatement. They (well, Jackson) were so excited about going, and I was worried that it might not be as great as we were all imagining it to be...but we were not disappointed in the least! We can't wait to go back again next year, and I am already prepared for a weekly question by Jackson of "When can we go back to Day out with Thomas?" :) Thanks, Chief and Kikye, for such a fun and special day! I tried to edit the hundreds of pictures I took and show you a few of my favorites...ok, I guess this would not be considered a few. There were just so many to choose from! And make sure you get to the end of the pictures for a video clip reel :)
Waiting in line to get on the tram to take us to the stationIt was very cold and windy that morning!

Thomas!

All aboard!

Can you ride the train with a bank-bank?
Absolute bliss...

I can get a dog and 2 cats to take better photos together than these two ;)

I think I could wallpaper my kitchen with all the rejects that came from trying to get this one picture
This is Luke and Jackson looking at Thomas at Action Canyon. The boy has been talking about this set and telling his Chief and Kikye they needed it for their track for MONTHS! So when we walked into the gift shop and they not only had Action Canyon, but had one on display...I thought he might pass out.

Face painting. Jackson picked a snake. And Luke picked....
...well, he picked Elmo..but kind of ended up with Elmo who had been hit by a train. I am not kidding you when I say that he sat PERFECTLY STILL. This was not the result of a wiggly toddler, just a young girl who has NO idea how to paint.

He and Kikye got matching Rosie tatoosThis is intervention at it's finest for Jackson...he has a hard time being 3 and sharing trains and train tables with more than a few kids at a time. So, this was a MAJOR accomplishment that we made it through this area without any meltdowns. Way to go, buddy!
Luke is just in his own little world...
Did anyone make it through for the video?

I'm so glad y'all got some fun family time together. That elmo on Luke's face is ridiculous. Jackson's love for Thomas is too cute.
