Thomas Comes to Colorado!

Sean took the boys to see Thomas this weekend and it made quite an impression on Davis.  Carter remembered seeing Thomas before but, to Davis, it was all brand new.  When I came home from work, he was still smiling from ear-to-ear as he told me all about seeing Thomas and Sir Topham Hat.  What a day!

Waiting to see their favorite engine...

 Sean said Davis kept waving and saying "Hi Thomas!"

 Our turn to ride on Thomas!

Bye, Thomas!  See you next year!

Thomas!

We took the boys to Golden to see Thomas the Tank Engine on Saturday afternoon. Carter & Sean went last year and had a blast, so we all decided to go this year!

Carter insisted on wearing one of Davis's wrist rattles as a watch for the car ride. Whatever!

The boys checking out the model trains.

Here comes Thomas!

I have to admit, I was pretty impressed by the life-sized Thomas. We rode in one of the covered train cars and it was packed full of excited kiddos with Thomas hats and tee shirts on. It was fun just watching them! We also enjoyed the petting zoo, train tables and kettle corn...what more could you ask for on a Saturday afternoon?

Thomas the Tank Engine

On Saturday, Sean took Carter to see Thomas the Tank Engine at the Railroad Museum in Golden. They had a blast! Sean said that there was a lot to see and do...a petting zoo, model trains and tons of vendors. Of course, the main attraction was getting to ride the train!

Carter on the train. And yes, he does have another bruise on his head

(from earlier that morning).

Here comes Thomas!

This is Sean's version of the souvenir photos that they were selling for $20. Unfortunately, Carter was more interested in checking out Thomas than posing. Who can blame him?

The petting zoo was a hit! Carter was kissing the sheep (not on the mouth).

Carter saw his friends Ellia & Mateo there.

Cool tattoo!

Still checking out the tattoo.

Check out my cool Thomas hat!

Carter with his trains...

Topping the list of Carter's favorite things:
1) Balls
2) Wheels
3) Trains
Depending on the day, the above order could change. He LOVES to play "choo-choo" and likes to dance to the theme song of "Thomas the Tank Engine". Here are some photos of Carter with his favorite "pals".
