A Day Out With...

Thomas!!!

Earlier in the year we heard about this event where you can ride Thomas the Train. Since both of our boys LOVE Thomas, we looked into it and found that this event would be in the Santa Cruz area in July and August, so we bought the tickets and planned a camping trip around it! We've been just as excited as the boys since then!

They were sooooo excited as we saw Thomas steaming down the track with a load of passengers!!!
Roaring Camp Railroads in Felton, CA is where the event was, and they had a lot of fun things for the kids to do: bounce houses, train tables, face painting, tattoos, bubbles, the works!!! We had a lot of fun, and got to see Percy!!!
After checking out everything, we headed to our boarding area......got out tickets out and ready... ...then loaded the train!!!

Ryan and Austin were being their inquisitive little selves watching everyone and everything!

As soon as we felt the train jerk, they were so exited!!!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!! It's rare to get them both smiling!

And we headed off into the woods! It was sooo beautiful!!!

Daddy and the boys liked to look down over the ravine at the river and other things they could find!

After our ride we got to jump in line to take a closer peek and meet Thomas face-to-face!

It was weird to see something that you've only seen as a miniature toy in such a large size!!!After some lunch we got to meet Sir Topham Hatt! Austin wasn't too sure about that GIANT head, but neither was I!We had so much fun on our camping trip and meeting Thomas! Hopefully we can do it again!
