Today was a very exciting day for us. We went to see Thomas. The Kentucky Railway Museum has an annual "Day Out with Thomas" event and it was a lot of fun. Ethan thought that it was the greatest thing around. We got to take a ride on Thomas and do all sorts of other fun things (hence all the pictures from today!) Above is a picture of Mommy, Daddy, Ethan and Emma in front of Thomas.
They had several stations set up for the kiddos to visit. This one had a bunch of train table for the kids to play with. Ethan could have stayed here all day, except for the time he got to ride the train.
Here are Mommy and Emma waiting to board the train.
Here is Ethan really anxious to board the train. We had to wait a long time to get on. Our departure time was 9:00 (we got up at 6:00 to leave at 7:00 because it said to be there an hour early.) They called us to board and then we waited, and waited, and waited. 2, 3, and 4 year olds don't like to wait so that was a ton of fun. Long story short, we finally got on the train what seemed like forever later (I think it was around 9:45.) A truck was parked in the middle of the track and left there. They normally don't use that track, only when Thomas is here, so the person assumed that the truck would be fine there.
While we waited, Ethan looked at some of the other big trains there.
Those are some really big wheels on that train.
Once we finally got to board the train, Daddy and Emma were checking out the view.
Here are Mommy, Ethan, and Emma in their seats on the train.
Ethan looking out the window as the train was going down the track.
Ethan got a cool Jr. Engineer Certificate. He was really proud.
Mommy loving on Ethan in the train.
Daddy and Ethan in the model train museum.
Ethan getting his first tattoo, of Thomas no doubt.

Mommy, Ethan and Emma visiting with Sir Topham Hat. Ethan thought that it was cool that he could talk to him about his ride on Thomas. Here he is giving him a high five.
They had all sorts of activities for the kids. Putt Putt, bouncers, petting zoo, story telling time, Mr. Magic, plus all the trains to see and play with.
Here is Ethan in front of Thomas, Percy, and James.
He was all tuckered out on the way home. Up at 6:30 and no nap makes for one sleepy child. When we got home, he woke up of course after only a 30 minute nap. Benjamin came over and stayed with us while his Mommy went to the ballpark. Later we went over to Benjamin's house to swim and Ethan wanted to come home and "go straight to bed" he said. Poor kid was exhausted! What a day!
