The Adventure with Thomas the Tank Engine

Look!!! I got to ride in a carriage pulled by Thomas the Tank Engine.

When on the train, they asked #1 Son a couple of questions about Thomas the Tank Engine and friends. The attendant asks “What color is Thomas?”. #1 Son answers “Blue”. She asks "What number is on Thomas?”. #1 Son answers “One”. “What color is Percy?”. “Green”. “What number is on Percy?”. “Six”. She asks “What color is Harold?”. #1 Son points out the window to something else. (He is the great distracter when he doesn’t know the answer!). It was cute. She gave him the certificate and a big smile. She was nice and gave one to #2 Son as well, though he didn’t say anything but “Bye Bye”.

Oh WOW! Crayons! We can color Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends! Kids and crayons – always a dangerous but fun adventure.

They had some stuff for the kids to do besides look at trains. #1 Son joined the band and played the maracas and got a free whistle for participating. There was a sand box that both kids enjoyed. And then there was the ‘hay’. Can you spot #1 Son in this picture? Click the picture to Enlarge it.

There were plenty of pictures, but many did not come out (too much light, too little light). Fun was had by the kids and we had a nice day away from the house. Just got my fingers crossed that this doesn’t happen again anytime soon. Particularly when we get home and find this:

to our SURPRISE. Yes, we had made arrangements to get our roof redone. No, noone had called and told us they were coming. In fact, last we heard from them, it was going to be another 2 weeks. Never a dull moment.
