A Day Out with Thomas (or Mia & Ava)

We've had A Day Out with Thomas marked on our calendar for months, but didn't want to buy tickets ahead of time in case the weather didn't cooperate.  When I woke up this morning to a sunny forecast, I was excited to take Mia and Ava on an adventure.  This is usually something we'd do as a family of five, but knew Mate would spend the whole time enjoying the event with the older girls, while I wrestled with their adventurous and uncooperative little sister.  Reluctantly, we decided Eliana and Mate would sit this one out.  We felt a little bad not going all together, but it turned out to be the right decision:

Waiting for the train ride to begin

Taking in all the scenery
 The best part about the train ride was when both girls snuggled up next to me and chatted quietly.  I could have stayed there with them for hours.   Thankfully, there was more fun to follow:
Playing with trains
Coloring
Inflatables
Happiness

If you're in the area, the event is taking place next weekend, too.  It's definitely worthwhile for Thomas the Train fans.
