Thomas the Train

We went on a retreat this past weekend with the chapels from the bases. It was a good time of learning more of God and hanging out with friends. I don't have any pictures of the retreat but on the way home today we stopped by the Midland Railway Centre to see some trains. It ended up being a Day out with Thomas day so that was an added bonus. We were too cheap to actually go on the ride but Chase loved seeing the trains.

When Chase saw this he just started yelling and pointing saying "Thomas, there's Thomas, mommy Thomas." He was so excited.

He couldn't sit still for 2 seconds - he just kept pointing and yelling what he saw.

More pointing :)

They had some old trains that were turned into picnic areas and play areas.

They had minature trains and Chase was excited to see Annie and Clarabel (Thomas's coaches).

When looking at this picture tonight Chase said this was the Island of Sodor. Where Thomas lives in the books and movies. Maybe in another year or so we will actually take him on the train ride.
When we were reading the Thomas books before bed tonight he kept saying " Saw Thomas today. Saw Annie and Clarabel today." It is fun to see your child so excited about something!
