As we were leaving the hotel on Sunday from Molly's wedding, a lady noticed some of Daniel's Thomas the Train stuff and she told me that Thomas was in town. We were very excited decided that this was something that we had to go to. It turns out that is wasn't quite as close as we had anticipated, but it was still worth the hours drive to get there!
The Day Out With Thomas is this traveling Thomas "carnival" for kids. They get to see and ride on a real Thomas the Train. They also have lots of stuff set up for the kids to do. Daniel's favorite was probably all the different train tables that they had set up. But he really did enjoy everything that was set up. Here are a few of the pictures from our day with Thomas.

Daniel with his great smile! This picture was taken as we were riding the Thomas train.
Daniel was able to climb up into this train and ring the bell. He loved it and didn't want to get out.

The Thomas event was held at a Railway museum and they have a model train club with a very large model train set up. Daniel was mesmerized by the whole thing.

There was a little petting zoo set up with goats, cows, ducks and roosters. Daniel loved the birds, he kept squeezing into the tiny opening between the two different pens. And everytime the rooster would make noise, Daniel would get this big grin on his face and reply "cock-a-doodle-doo". It was really cute!

This is the Train Table station. There were so many little kids under this tent playing. Daniel would have stayed and played for hours if we let him.

The last thing we did before we left was get Daniel a tatoo. This tatoo is the longest lasting thing. It finally came off after having it on for over a week.
