Day Out With Thomas (Picture Warning)

I took Cameron to a Day Out With Thomas last Friday. It was held at a train museum in Calera Alabama. She knew we were going, but didn't know when. I kept it a surprise the whole time. The first thing we saw was Thomas himself. Her face lit up and she kept saying, "It's Thomas, It's Thomas!" She was so excited. If you have never been to this and are thinking about it you should be warned that it is not adult friendly. If you grow bored or impatient just sitting and watching your child play then this is not the place for you. I had no problem with it. I enjoy sitting and watching Cameron play, especially when she is so excited about it. DH on the other hand would have literally dies of boredom. LOL So here are some pictures of she did while she was there.

This is Thomas the train. He was attached to several coach cars and it is what we rode as part of the admission price.

There was a tent that had tables set up with Thomas coloring packs and crayons along with loads of Thomas and friends stamps.



This is a Thomas built out of legos that was really cool. The kids could sit inside and climb on him. Behind it was a whole lego land of Thomas.

There was a really nice petting farm there as well. And this was an actual hands on one, not like some that just have a couple animals and you can only pet a few of them. There were lambs, baby ducks, horses, chickens, rabbits and bunnies and lots more. You could touch each and every one of them. Really cool. This is Cameron with the baby cow.
There was a huge tent bursting with Thomas toys. I took a picture of just part of it. I let Cameron pick what she wanted as long as it wasn't something I have locally seen in the stores.

One of the things she picked was a Thomas that had a whistle on the end. It sounds just like a train horn. This was a popular item in the crowd. She also got a Percy train, another train whistle and a t-shirt.

In the art tent they were giving everyone tattoos. Cameron wanted Percy and I got a Thomas.

She also had a great time playing in a huge sandbox they had, listening and dancing to the live music (which was a guy playing a guitar and singing children's songs), playing with the Thomas and Lego tables, of course the train ride as well has being able to get up on other trains and see them close up. We had a great time.

I remember you talking about this trip last year, too. Great to see the pics of what it was like, and I'm glad she had a good time!
