A Day out with Thomas

We have now been to Calera for this event 4 years in a row. This is always a blast for the boys and a fairly cheap day of entertainment for us. Davis and Sam both had big smiles as I lifted them up from the parking lot to see Thomas.



We first went to the petting zoo, where Sam and Davis pet the goats, bunnies, and ducks. I also let Sam and Davis wonder all over the trains they have on display. They were pretty happy to be driving this big engine.

We then got tattoos for the boys. Anabelle wanted one, but we said that she had to wait till she was 20 to get one like her mothers…just kidding. The tattoos were quickly gone while Sam and Davis played in the blow up bounce area and slide, those guys could have spent the rest of the day in here. Magan has a video of Davis screaming coming down the slide, and this he did EVERY time he came down the slide.



After the blow up fun, the boys both played putt putt, then we took a rest and rode the smaller version (and much cheaper) train.

We then let the boys go to the story time passenger train while Magan went to the Thomas Store with Anabelle. Sam was very shy about sitting up front to listen to the Thomas story, but little Dave helped give them both the confidence to go up front and sit all by themselves. After that, they played in the large sand boxes and then with the bubbles. Magan and I just sat back in the shade and watched them play and play and play.

One last trip to the Thomas Train tent…where all the kids were playing with the train tables they had set up. They also had a large table where you could color pictures, but only one kid stayed at this table the whole time…yep Sam. He loved that they had so many stamps and coloring pages.

It was a beautiful day, and so much fun. On the island of Sodor this day there were no unhappy engines.
