THOMAS!

Today was the big day we've been waiting for all summer...today was the day Jack got to meet Thomas the Tank Engine! We drove two hours to Connersville, IN to meet the Number One Blue Engine himself. My parents, Ashley and Kelcee met us there so we had quite the troop. I was afraid it was going to be super crowded and that we wouldn't be able to enjoy all the day's activities, but the time we picked to go on the train was perfect. We go there at 9:00 am and were able to walk around and take in the sights before riding the 11:15 train. We got to play at train tables, get tatoos of Thomas and James and listen to story tellers. We saw "Bertie the Bus" and met Sir Topham Hatt. We shopped for new trains. Once on the train we got to see where Sir Topham Hatt lived...which Kelcee really thought was his house...so that gave us a good laugh! After riding the train we found a nice shady spot and had a picnic lunch before heading home. Other than the heat, it really was a great day.
