Our Day Out With Thomas!

As their Easter gift, Papa and Mimi treated us all to the Day Out With Thomas event at Greenfield Village! It as a fantastic day, with beautiful weather and lots of fun!! We got to Greenfield around 9:45, and stayed until around 5PM. The kids were so well behaved; even more impressive was that they were well behaved despite missing naps!

Bye, Thomas!

Meeting Sir Topham Hatt. I was shocked that both Makenna and Owen weren't scared. Personally, I find him quite frightening looking!




This is the best picture we could get of both of them in front of Thomas. So cooperative.

Aren't they cute in their cool shades and orange shirts?

Riding the cars!



Watching Thomas leave the station again. We did this several times throughout the day. Every time, Makenna commented about Thomas' "creepy eyes" because they rolled back and forth.

Watching the magic show
Makenna was so impressed by this guy. She gave him her undivided attention.

One last view of Thomas near the front gates before we left. These are such great unobstructed shots, but I got yelled at for being too close to the tracks!


Passed out on the ride home. Even in his sleep, he didn't let the balloon out of his grip!

Thank you for sharing the day with us. Time together is so precious. The kids really were "peaches". What nice memories to have.
