Off to the Island of Sodor

Photobucket
Last Saturday, we were so excited to go and meet one of our favorite friends, Thomas the Train. He made his appearance in Burnet and we had tickets to the early morning ride! Jonathan is the big Thomas fan around here...but both of the boys were thrilled to meet this cute chugger.

Benjamin was waiting for the conductor to come and punch his ticket. The ride was all very official...the announcer would announce our arrival into and out of Sodor, Thomas music played the whole trip and the boys even got certificates stating they were official riders of the railway.

We even had our own personal paparazzi to come out and watch us ride.

A super fun morning! We had to arrive at 7:30 since our train was the first one of the day! Jonathan was worn out by 11 since he had been up since 5:30! It was great, though...we beat the mega crowds! (Over 18,000 were expected at this event for the weekend...Thomas is pretty popular!)
