Ever since I found out that Thomas the Train was coming to OKC, I should have kept my mouth shut. I accidentally told Haylie in April that he was coming to town...in October. My, that's a long time to wait for a little girl! But the day finally came and no one around was happier than her.
Jace certainly wasn't happier - but he was alright with being there.
He found some blocks to play with.
And old trains to climb on.
It was a cute set up - you went around to 4 different stations to get your stamp and then you ended up at the gift shop to get your "prize." (AKA stickers) So we hopped up on the train for movie time, went around to Imagination Station to play with Thomas train tracks and waited in line anxiously to see Sir Topham Hatt. Haylie was beyond thrilled to meet him and didn't even think twice about why he was in a poofy outfit or why he didn't talk. When we left him, you would have thought she just met the biggest movie star ever with the way she reacted.
So we waited in line to get our turn on Thomas. We didn't actually ride on him, but he pulled our "coach."
Poor Umpy got stuck with Jace duty for awhile. Just keepin' it real, folks. (Aren't they adorable in their hats?!?)
The train was a slow movin' one, but Haylie soaked up every minute. Jace - who never napped that day - finally fell asleep the final 10 minutes.
It was a really fun time and we will probably go back! My daughter's dreams came true on that day - when she could finally say she met Thomas.

That is so cool! It's funny that it's your girl who loves trains so much, but I'm sure Jace will eventually too! The bike trail that you can see out the train window is our favorite one to ride on...and the old rusty train cars down the way is where we took senior pictures!
