Day out with Thomas

I found out from a friend of mine in MOPS that they were having a Day Out With Thomas in Grapevine.  Since Jackson is in love with trains right now we thought it would be a great thing to take him to.  Mason happened to be in town too, so we got him a ticket as well because he used to be a train enthusiast as well. 

We had a great time.  We got to ride a real train with Thomas at the front.  I think Jackson may have been a little young to get the full effect of it all, but he still seemed to have a good time.  After the train ride, we went to a room filled with train tables so he could play.  He loved this, maybe a little too much because he kept taking trains away from other kids so eventually we had to take him out and of course he was not too happy about that.  So what do we do, go let him pick a toy out from the giant Thomas souvenir shop.  He picked a Thomas bath toy that he loves and can't wait to take baths at night so he can play with his "choo choo". 

They also had a mini train pulled by a riding lawn mower that we got to ride.  He really enjoyed that.  After we were all finished we went to the Gaylord to have lunch with my MOPS friend and her family.  It was a great end to our day because they had electric trains running right next to where we ate so it kept the boys entertained while we got to relax a bit.  It was a fun day and look forward to doing it again next year (if Jackson still has his love for trains).
