Day out with Thomas


Memorial day weekend we were SO excited to take Zach to the Day out with Thomas that comes up to the Heber Valley Railroad. He had become very much a lover of trains, and therefore Thomas over the last year or so :) The night before, we told Zach that in the morning we were going to go see Thomas, and he was so excited he took quite a while to fall asleep, lol and then woke up pretty early :) We purchased the train ride tickets for the earliest train, hoping to beat the crowds, and it worked!! It was a fairly uncrowded train, and so were the other activities they had. Zach was so excited to see the life sized Thomas, and kept calling him toot toot. But when it came time to actually get on the train he wasn't so excited, lol. So he was pretty snugly the first 15 min of the train ride, then he started to warm up to it, and got excited. Afterwards he got to take his picture with Thomas, which he was way excited for and sat happily while he got his picture taken. Then we went over to the "Imagination Station" where they had 4 or 5 train tables set up, to which Zach was SO excited to play at, lol.. he even played at tables where there were other kids, which is huge for him (at toys r us when he is playing with the train table, if even 1 other kid walks up he walks away). Then we did a couple other of the activities, and went to see the big Thomas train 1 more time and then we headed home, with 1 very happy little boy, a couple of new trains, and lots of memories!

We're so jealous! We had tickets last October, but got in a car wreck on the way there and never made it. Hopefully we can go up there the next time. Oliver loves Thomas! It looks like it was fun.
