A Day Out With Thomas...


...no, not my husband... but

Thomas the Tank Engine!!!

As I told you before, Graham is obsessed with trains, especially Thomas and Friends! At the Colorado Railroad Museum, in Golden, you could go have "A Day Out With Thomas". We decided this year to go since Graham would love it. We went with Larissa and Scott (who is more obsessed with trains than Graham!) and had a lot of fun.


Trying to get a picture of Tommy and Graham on the bus to the museum. Graham was trying to humor me... saying "cheeeeese" while watching a Thomas & Friends episode on the bus TV.

Graham watching one of the small engines go around in the "Round House". It is quite a cool contraption! There are "handles" attached to the track so you can push it around to line up with a different track. I pushed it by myself and the worker said that I was pushing 50 Tons around... It is amazing how if you engineer something right, you can move so much weight with ease!

Graham, Me, Larissa and Scott

Graham and Scott had such a fun time together. Scott would sit with Graham and give him lessons on what all the levers did, what type of train it was, and a bunch of other train knowledge. Me and Larissa kept teasing that we both brought our "kids" to see the trains :)


Scott and Larissa had to leave early, so after they left we rode Thomas. Actually it was a train pushing a car in front that looked like Thomas (not the fully functional Thomas...) but the kids don't know the difference. The entire time we were there, Graham kept saying "Thomas", "Thomas", "Thomas". He was SO excited! This is Graham and Tommy (with Thomas in the background) right before we left to come home.

Both Graham and I fell asleep on the way home!

what would we do without Thomas the Train?! Graham is such a cute little guy. I can't believe how much he has grown up lately. It was fun to hear from you the other day!
