Since I was to be a tech-widow all weekend (Tony started "Sweeney Todd" at Centre Stage), I decided to head up to Spencer, North Carolina, with the boys in tow, for the Day out with Thomas, at the North Carolina Transportation Museum. Although the night in the hotel with Christopher waking up every two hours was HELL (I repeat, very bad), we had a great time at the Thomas the Tank Engine event the next day. Christopher was at just the right age to be totally bowled over by the blue train, and he has been reading two Thomas board books over and over again at bedtime for the past month or so, along with another train book. I figured the timing was just too good to miss.
We got to see Thomas driving up and down the tracks several times. It was great. We didn't actually ride Thomas, but I always thought, why would you? We did with John, and of course, while you are riding on Thomas's train you can't see Thomas himself!
John was mostly interested in the animal crackers I had in the backpack, so that kept him happy. And he was happy to help Christopher have a good time.

John is so helpful!
He IS a good helper. I'm very thankful. I also need to keep being reminded of that, so that I can praise him for it more often instead of sighing when he doesn't cooperate...
Olivia is into Thomas right now, too! That looks like (the day was) so fun! I'm sorry about the night. Rough. Good for you for powering through!
I think the Thomas train ride is actually for the adults...
John's self-draping is highly artistic - could easily be mistaken for part of a Michelangelo sculpture!
He does that so that he can play his DVD player in a dark environment. I wouldn't be able to breathe, but I guess all pales before "Star Wars: The Clone Wars."
