shunting trucks and hauling freight....
Nathan sings the theme song to Thomas the Train over and over everyday. He LOVES Thomas and his friends! Months ago we decided to take Nathan to Thomas Day Out. We took Levi to grandma's house for the day and off we went to spend some special time with Nathan. What a money making deal this is! But, it's also such a dream day for our little boy!
We were planning on surprising Nathan and not telling him where we were going except as we headed to the parking lot right out his window was Thomas puffing down the tracks! We live next to train tracks and watch trains all day long so Nathan knows that Thomas doesn't ride the rails very often. We told him where we were headed and I asked if he wanted to ride on Thomas to which he said "ummm...no". Once he processed where we were going and rode the bus that played Thomas cartoons as they took us from the parking lot to the musuem (Thomas' stomping grounds for the next few weekends) he took to the idea very quickly! You can see the excitement on his face as we rode the bus!
Thomas tattoos, train tables, Sir Topham Hatt, lots of other engines and train cars to see, small model trains running around outside, and of course, our Thomas ride, kept us busy for hours. All that, and the trek through the gift shop as we were headed out. Goodness, talk about Nathan's dream land! We told him he could pick one new toy from the gift shop but poor kid couldn't decide what he wanted with hundreds of things to pick from.
Thomas!
Waving to Thomas!
All aboard!
Say "choo choo"!
What a special day!
We all loved 'Nathan's special day'!!
