Day out with Thomas

Never in a million years did I imagine I would get to ride the Thomas the Train! Well, I sure did though. And could this kid be any happier about it? The place was packed. A lot of boys in their engineer caps looking pretty much like this were the majority of the kids there. There were a ton of girls too of course, and lots of babies. I think they knew what they were doing making the train ride 25 minutes. Get a bunch of kids and babies in a train and send them off down the tracks. It sounds like the making of a disaster, right? Just about the time we were almost back to the drop-off spot, is when a bunch of kids started to seem like they were about ready to get off the train, if you know what I mean. Many kids seemed close to that edge, you know the one, just before a meltdown. We managed to avoid it until we tried to do just one more thing. famous last words. As usual, we left somewhere with a crying child! Ha ha ha. It didn't matter though, we got to see Thomas. Matthew kept saying thomas thomas thomas and singing made-up songs with thomas as the sole lyric the whole way there and the whole way home. I have a feeling he'll be talking about this for a while.
