Day Out With Thomas!

Coop and I went to Day Out With Thomas this morning in Grapevine and had so much fun!  So sad that Dad couldn't go with us, he's in San Diego for work, hopefully next year!  The main attraction of the day is that Thomas is there and you can ride the train, but they have lots more.  First of all, you park far away and take a bus to the event.  I think we could have just done the bus ride and Coop would have been pleased!  Here is what else we did on this beautiful sunny, Saturday morning...it was 70 degrees at 9:15 when we got there and in the 80's when we left at 12!!!!!

  Coop kept trying to pull the fence away, wanted to get closer to Thomas!  We got to watch a Thomas video, walk thru the gift shop (believe or not, I got out with nothing, despite Coop pulling everything he saw off the tables), see lots of trains, listen to some fun live music, get a Thomas tatoo...all before our 10:30 train departure time.

Waving hi to Thomas

 So, this was us in line waiting for our train time, Thomas was just pulling up and everyone was soo excited.  This pic and the next 2 were what I got holding Cooper in one hand and taking pictures with the other.  They actually turned out cute, despite being off-center and cutting him off ;).

 Love this picture, totally captured his awe of Thomas!

 Man, this is when I needed another hand for video!  He's sitting on the train and saying "choo-choo."  He loved sitting by himself and when I leaned over him or got to close, he not so politely pushed me back over into my space.

Our professional plane spotter had spotted a plane and was giddy about it!

Waving hi/bye to all the people on the road, kept saying 'Thomas, Thomas.'

Checking out his Thomas tatoo

Before we left, we found the petting zoo.  He was loving all the animals...rabbits, ducks, goats, mini pot-bellied pigs but wouldn't touch any of them.  The one he would touch...the donkey.  He was petting him and saying, 'pat, pat, pat.'

Already excited to take him next year and see how his perspective on it will have changed.  

Only one more thing to make this weekend complete and you all know what that is...
