Well, it won't become a family tradition, but we did spend a day out with Thomas the Tank Engine back in July. We planned a trip to Seattle the same weekend, so it didn't feel too out of the way. All the boys were excited but I think the eight train tables and the puppet show were the highlights. In the end we had to drag them to see the actual Thomas the Train because "someone" had put a bounce house right in the way.
Phin was in Thomas heaven.
They had a Punch and Judy puppet show. The boys loved it!
Riding with Thomas. They advertised a 20 minute "ride with Thomas". It was 8 minutes up, sit and wait for 4 minutes and then 8 minutes back. The coaches were old and hot. As adults we were like "what a waste", but the boys didn't care.
Last stop of the day, meeting Thomas. This was the best shot I got, even if the "professional" photographer's arm is in the way.
Yes, Phin, it's Thomas.

If you want a review of the day, it was okay. The train ride was actually the lamest part of the whole deal. Not really worth what we paid or the three hour drive. The boys have nearly as much fun playing with the train table at the Barns and Noble.
