Thomas the Train

On Saturday, I took AJ to the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden. I bought the tickets a month ago because Thomas the Train was there! He's only there a few weekends each year and I just knew AJ would love it. I thought it would be a really fun thing for us to do together.

We got to the museum about 10am and we had to park a few miles away and be bussed in. It didn't even occur to me that AJ had never been on a bus before. He LOVED it! He thought it was the best thing ever because he didn't have to be in the car seat and the windows are so big. It was a good start to our day. When we got there, it was time for us to ride the HUGE train. We took a 25 minute ride around the museum and AJ had a blast. He was waving to everyone and saying "Hi" to Thomas the whole time. After our ride, we walked around and checked out the other trains- he was able to climb on and go thru many of them- went to the petting zoo, checked out the firetruck and watched the miniature train track set up. It was an awesome day.

Mama, AJ & Thomas!


Riding Thomas!

Awe how fun! We sort of did this with Preston too. Well, Thomas the Train came to our town but we didn't buy tickets in time (who knew that they sold out in advance??). And so we though we would just drive to the trains anyway and so he could at least look at them. We got there right after they closed for the evening but lucky us - they left the gate open by accident. So we got to go in and Preston got to get his picture taken while standing on Thomas and some of the other fun stuff. Then someone saw us and we got kicked out LOL.

P.S. Preston is saying the "I'm funny" thing too! It's hilarious. He'll laugh and also say "Preston funny!" haha.
