We bought the tickets for this Thomas the Tank Engine event months ago before I ever knew I was going back to work, and it could not have come at a more perfect time. I went back to work last Wednesday so it was awesome to have this family event centered around Tucker, since I kinda ditched him!
He had a blast! I think it was a weird thing for him that Thomas was actually there, because Thomas is usually just on the TV or a small toy, but he worked through it! They had a lot of fun activities for the kids including some carnival rides, tattoos, train tables, meeting Sir Topham Hatt (he was a little freaky looking), a magician and his bunny rabbit that Tucker got to pet, singers, a fire truck that Tucker got to sit in, and a ton of other entertainment. We also went on a train ride (it was at the Essex Steam Train) and Thomas actually pushed/pulled the train. Tucker loved looking out the window and getting his "junior conductor" certificate at the end of the ride.
It was a beautiful day and the kids did awesome (especially Brayden who barely had a morning nap and spent most of the day in his carseat!). As an added bonus, they both fell asleep on the way home-Tucker even had my phone and a book in his hand and totally conked.
We had a very busy weekend with lots of fun people, but this was clearly the highlight for Tucker! Only a very slight win over having a sleepover with his cousin Riley-that's another post:)
His reaction when he figure out where we were
It was hard to get Tucker's excitement captured, but you can kind of see his smile off to the side of the picture-he was pumped!

Getting his first tattoo-he doesn't want to take it off!

he would not let go of the pole to get off-he really likes carousels

I LOVE their matching faces here-totally not on purpose!
making new friends at the train tables
Tucker was holding on pretty tight...he wasn't a fan of the freaky Sir Topham Hatt
He loves his brother
All dressed up to try out the firetruck
Ole!
Thomas was pulling in to the station while Tucker was in the firetruck

he was walking with a purpose
