Brayden is totally, utterly obsessed with Thomas so we decided to brave the crowd and take him to see Thomas the train on Sunday. Mum and Papa came with us and we left bright and early so we could get to the train station an hour before our scheduled ride. The crowds weren't too bad when we arrived. We found parking easily and Brayden was able to get his picture taken with Thomas right away. He was so in awe of Thomas and how big he was.
Brayden was so excited to see and ride on Thomas but I think the highlight of his day was the gift shop devoted only to Thomas. I think he must have touched every single thing in that place. We originally went in to get him a Thomas t-shirt but we came out with lots of trains, coloring books, puzzles...of course, they were all Thomas.
No t-shirt though, they were in another tent so we trek down to that tent and buy more Thomas stuff...t-shirts, track suits, sippy cups, hats...you get the idea.
Thomas is a huge cash cow! Just the tickets cost us over a hundred dollars and the ride was about 10 seconds long...although I don't think that Brayden would have wanted a longer ride but still for the price of the ticket, the ride should have ended by delivering us right to our front door!
Ben's new get-rich-quick plan...open a Thomas store locally. We'll see if that pans out...I would put my money on NO!
Brayden had a great day and we spoiled him rotten with Thomas...that should last him at least a month. Cami better learn to like Thomas because she is going to inherit a lot of Thomas crap in the near future!
Here a some pic's from the day with Thomas:

It looks like you had a lot of fun. I love the picture of Brayden with the conductor hat (or is it an engineers hat? I guess that is what you get when you have a girl).
Brayden is sooo cute in his little conductors hat!
