Today we took Eli to Spencer and the NC Transportation Museum to see and ride on "Real Thomas". We told him about it last night and he was so excited. This morning we piled in the truck and headed South. The boys traveled very well and there was excitement in the truck - it was all things Thomas. Eli had a Thomas Train Engine, a Thomas book and another engine with him.
When we got there, we walked around a bit to see everything. I am sooo glad we got tickets for today because I can only imagine how busy it will be this weekend. The set up was really neat and they had a lot of stuff for the kids to do / look at. There were mini golf stations, a Thomas bounce house, a tent full of Thomas goodies to buy, lots of food, a lego Thomas, Sir Topham Hatt - and this was all just as you entered!! We also walked to the Roundhouse and saw the turntable and lots of train displays. There were also Bob the Builder shows but we didn't make one of them. After looking around, we headed back for our 10:45am train ride. Well......we got there just as the train was pulling away! I was so upset - that was the whole reason we were there. Tim talked to the staff and we were able to get on the 11:30am train. Whew! The ride was fun and Eli loved looking out the window and waving to everyone. After the ride, we had lunch and watched the train run a little more. Eli is not a fan of loud noises and the "horn whistles" as he called them, scared him a bit. After lunch and some more train table play, we packed up and headed home. Once on the road, it took Eli all of 2 minutes to fall asleep! Both boys were angels all day and we all had a great time. A few photos of our day....
This morning Eli climbed in our bed where Cole was lying. It was so cute.
