We took the kids to meet Thomas the Train this past Saturday in Baldwin City, Kansas.
It was kind of far away and ended up being in the nineties. Although the heat made it a bit uncomfortable it was still fun to see the kids’ reaction when the full-sized Thomas the Train pulled up.
It was hard to get them to sit still while the train was moving. I think they were just really excited. Look at Brigham’s reaction when the train started blowing its whistle!
And Landon was all smiles and waiting patiently for the train to start moving.
At one point both boys and cousin Harrison wound up on Naaman’s lap!
After the train ride we decided to forgo the long line to get a photo in front of Thomas’ face. We opted to go the side route and save time and our sanity. I can’t believe everyone was looking the same direction for this photo.
It was hard to get the boys to turn around. They only wanted to look at Thomas!
All in all, it was a great day with family! I loved seeing their little faces get excited about Thomas. They’ve been watching Thomas and reading his books for quite some time. So I know it was a special day for them to meet him in person!
So excited to see this –Truman is going to see Thomas on Thursday with his grandpa and I wish I could go,too. Now at least I’ve seen some pix so I know what it will be like!
Would you say it was worth the money? I saw a flyer for it the other day, and I don’t know about yours, but this one was $20 a person… so I wondered if it was worth it?
Cute pics! I know Jaxon would *LOVE* this, if we ever went!

Although we liked seeing the boys’ reactions when they saw Thomas, I just don’t think we would do it again. Maybe it was the heat making us cranky but we just didn’t think it was worth the ticket price. I don’t know why they have it all the way out there in that little town too. Cost us a tank of gas on top of the ticket prices.
Cameron would love this! I had to look up where Baldwin City is, looks like about 2 hours from Wichita. A bit too far, but looks super cool!

We enjoyed our first Day Out with Thomas last year. What a fun time! Of course, my little boy’s favorite part was the train tables…exactly like what he has at home!!! We recently visited Entertrainment Juntion near Cincinnati. I have pics in one of my recent blog posts. That was another big thrill for our train loving boy!
