A Day Out with Thomas

Last Friday we spent the day with one of Jacob's FAVOURITE guys - Thomas!  Jacob is Thomas/Train obsessed and was so excited to go.  He is sad that Thomas is now back in Sodor and often asks if we can go there to visit him. 

The weather was really nice - it had rained earlier that morning and cooled everything off.  It was overcast so we weren't standing around baking in the sun. 

This is definitely a once in a life time opportunity ---- it is too expensive to go again!!!  But we knew how much Jacob would love it, and it was really nice to do something as a family. 

Sir Topham Hatt.... Jacob LOVED this :)

Jacob the conductor!

Just a little excited to be riding on thomas!

We refused to pay the ridiculous prices for a 'professional' picture, so unfortunately the kids aren't looking at me.  But it's still a fun shot.

Thomas!  Jacob asks to look at this picture everyday.  I might have to frame it for him!

I wish I could tell you! Each person needed a $20 ticket to get in the gates.... Crazy, I know.

That is SO fun! Also, crazy expensive. $20 for Jacob and Emily each as well?? Definitely once in a lifetime.

We went last year with our kids and they loved it too! Definitely a "once" in a life time thing though.
