Joshua has always had a super crazy obsession with Thomas the Tank Engine.
Exhibit A:
Every year we have wanted to take him to see the REAL Thomas, who comes to our area every year, but it is very expensive, so we never have been able to go.
This year Jason actually has a real job, and so we got tickets to ride Thomas.
It was just this year that Josh started getting out of trains, and into other things, so we thought we may have missed that small amount of time when it would be truly magical for him.
The cool thing was, it all came back. :)
We had so much fun!
Greenfield Village is a really cool place that we've never been to, and now we have a year membership, so we will go a lot this summer!
Josh is passing on his love of trains to Wyatt and Claire.
Wyatt plays with them all day long now, just like his big brother did at his age.
We were really surprised to see that Greenfield Village actually has a real roundhouse!
... complete with a turntable that they were turning by hand!
Look how beautiful that building is!
I just want to turn it into a house. haha :)
The kids met Sir Topham Hatt
Then they got to do a bunch of Thomas activities while we waited for our time to board.
We admired the $10.00 Thomas balloon, but did NOT buy it!!!
Wyatt loved huge lego Thomas!
And the kids got tattoos...
Claire and Wyatt rocked out in this cool train...
While Josh caught up on his Thomas episodes.
I love how their faces look exactly the same in this picture.
