Day With Thomas

Jackson has been waiting all summer to go see the "real life Thomas". Yesterday his little dream came true and he was in Thomas heaven.  The train museum in Golden has a Thomas the Train that comes through every year.  We got to go for a ride on Thomas and take pictures with Thomas and Sir Topham Hatt.  There was a petting zoo, trains everywhere, Thomas story and song time, and a craft area to make train puppets.  Jackson seemed a little overwhelmed while trying to take it all in. He loved it.  Cody loved watching the trains go by, too.  He would point and squeal every time the train went by.  Later that night Jackson told me "I did see real life Thomas today. There were SO many trains and I did pick Bash".  He makes me laugh At the end of the day in order to leave you have to walk through the merchandise tent filled with Tomas everything (strategically placed).  So we let Jackson pick one thing out.  First, he picked a light up Percy, then he picked out a puzzle and put Percy back. Then he was walking around with huge eyes looking at alllllll the trains holding his little puzzle. Then he stopped at a table that he could barely see over and looked up and his eyes got bigger, he reached up and grabbed a little train named Bash. He picked it up off the table, held it tightly in his little arms, walked over to me and said "Mommy, put my puzzle back.  I found Bash!"  He is so silly.
