A REAL Thomas Train!!

The first weekend in May, our little family took a mini vacation down to Chattanooga for an overnight trip. Since Noah is our little Thomas the Train nut, we thought we would take him to an event that has been touring the country for a few years now. It's called A Day Out With Thomas! They have an actual life size Thomas train that you can ride on, along with lots of other activities. Oh, we just thought Noah would be beside himself. And we were right!!! It was so adorable to see the excitement in his eyes and face!! I think we had just as much fun watching him enjoy everything!! What a memory for sure!! ;)
The week before we went, I found some YouTube videos of the train to help explain to him that we would be riding a REAL Thomas!! Lol He was telling everyone, even the check out lady at the grocery store about how he was going to ride a REAL Thomas train!! So cute!!
Hope you are ready for a cute picture overload!! Ha ha

Noah on our way to see Thomas!! He was Sooo cute in his little conductor hat! It's the only hat I have ever been able to keep on him for more than 4 min!! He loves it!

This was the first train we saw!! Its not Thomas but he was getting excited!!

Walking up to see Thomas!!

He's saying, "IT'S THOMAS!!"

And there he is!!

Gotta get a photo with him!

Checkin him out... ;)

Look how BIG he is compared to Noah!

Getting on our train car for the ride!! All Aboard!!

Taking it all in...

"Look daddy, theres a bridge!!"

Waiting in line to meet Sir Topham Hat! He's the railroad director. ;) I was very proud of Noah during this. He was soo excited to meet him but was also very patient while we waited....which was about 20 min!!

This was so sweet!! I actually thought he was going to be a little apprehensive about meeting him but he just walked right up to him, waved and said "HI Sir Topham Hat!" The photographer had a hard time getting a pic cuz he kept wanting to turn around and wave to him!

They had a bunch of train table to play on so of course, Noah was in heaven!! lol He loves to play trains!

Maybe will get him a train table someday...

They were doing train rides all day long while the other activities were going on so we went up to the station to watch one of the rides come back!! It was exciting!!

He just loves this picture!!! We had a keychain with it made up that we keep on his bag so we always have it! ;)

We even had a Thomas come home with us!!

And this was about 5 min later...WORE OUT!! LOL
