September 13, 2009 - DAY OUT WITH THOMAS

You only have to spend about 5 minutes with me to figure out that I absolutely, positively LOVE trains. One in particular has really peaked my interest--THOMAS THE TANK!!

When we heard that Thomas was going to be visiting the Strasburg area, we bought tickets right away! Here are some highlights from my special day.

We were only in the parking lot, but things were already exciting!!!

The first thing I saw was the huge water tower!

Then, we saw this cool caboose.

And then......look who we saw chugging down the track!!!!

We had some time before our scheduled train ride,

so we stopped to meet Sir Topham Hat. He's a little less scary on TV!!!

THOMAS!!!!!!!!!

Peek-a-boo!

ALL ABOARD!!!

Mommy and PopPop were almost as excited as me!

Time to get the tickets ready to hand to the conductor.

CHEESE!

My ticket is ready!

I LOVE THOMAS THE TRAIN!!

There were so many sights to see.

Boo hoo....our ride on Thomas is over.

Now it's time to go on another train ride on the Strasburg Railroad line.

ALL ABOARD!!

We passed Thomas as we were pulling out of the station.

Check out this huge engine we passed.

Grandmom and PopPop were having such a great time.

I got some new trains at the Thomas store before we boarded.

Look at all the smoke and steam that the big engine created!!

MOOOooooooo!

Here is the engine that was pulling us.

Here's the conductor.

It's time to head home.

It's time for sweet dreams about trains, tracks, and THOMAS!!

What a great day! : )
