Thomas the train came to the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie... and since Blake is obsessed with him, we knew we couldn't miss it! The entire grounds were devoted to "Thomas," there was SO much to do!
here is the life size Thomas that pulled us
they had trains set up everywhere...they even let the kids be the "conductor" and control the trains
here we are standing in line, ready to board the train.... Blake was SO excited he didn't know what to do with himself. He was jumping all over the place, laughing, crying, pretty much freaking out, I think he just had no idea how to control his emotions, it was pretty hilarious!
we finally made it onto Thomas' coaches... Adam made sure to say 'hi' and 'bye' to all the cars that went by
not the best group shot, but proof that we were all there together!
we then stood in line to get to take pictures in front of Thomas, which was a good 30 min wait, but they had some other small trains that we were able to ride while Daddy waited in line!
there was a huge tent with dozens of these tracks set up, along with some mega blocks, coloring stations, puppet shows, Thomas movies, sing alongs, tattoos, food, and a GIANT gift shop!
we got the boys a train whistle, which they love... Blake can only blow into it once before he starts smiling so big he can't do it anymore :)
they also had a little 'treasure' hunt, where you could go to different stations and get your paper stamped, once you got them all they gave the kids a prize... it was a little Thomas view finder camera. Blake took 'pictures' of everything on the way back to the car, we got to see Thomas go by one more time and he was telling everyone in the coaches to 'say cheese!'
minutes after we got into the car... this was the scene
the boys were so good all day, we had such a fun day together as a family!

That is so cute Blake was so excited about it. I bet there were a lot of happy kids in your area.
heard that was happening we would have been number one parents to carson had we taken him:) maybe next year, glad your kids had fun miss you guys
I think Damien edited our photos from the day so I can blog about them sometime too - I'm pretty sure my post will be exactly like yours, complete with the tuckered out kids on the ride home.
I'm so glad you were able to get tickets and that Blake had so much fun. Those pictures really capture his excitement. Seriously, you need to go to the Thomas Amusement Park while you're in England.
Glad you had a good time :) Poor Blake left his whistle here though.
Oh my goodness, I can just imagine Blake jumping up and down and having such a wonderful time!! That Thomas is sure a hit!! Glad you guys had so much fun! When are you leaving?
What a perfectly wonderful sounding day! So glad you were able to experience Thomas together as a family.
