This weekend, all Will's dreams came true!! We (Mama, Daddy, Will, Daniel, Meme, Poppi, Nana, Granddad, and Aunt Abigail) jumped into the car and drove 3 hours to Cordele, GA. What were we doing? Going to "A Day out with Thomas" to see Thomas the Train!! Here are some of the things we did while we were there...
Here's Will on the way to the tram we had to take over to the Island of Sodor!
We made it!!
One thing Will kept telling me he wanted to do on the trip was get his face painted. He wanted Toby the train, but the ladies were not painting trains. So, he got a Jack-o-lantern. He sat SO still for his first painted face!
It turned out pretty good!
They had a lot of train tables set up. Will knows how to work those remotes. He loved playing with all the different sets they had.
Then he got to jump...he kept calling this "Joe's" like Monkey Joes...one of his favorite places.
And then it was time to see the main attraction...
Will got his picture taken with the conductor!
He was excited to get his seat on the train!
Here he is "reading" his ticket...he was saying all the letters on the ticket!
Telling Daniel we were riding Thomas!
This is one happy little boy!
He never let go of the ticket he talked about for at least three months!
He stood up a few times and looked out the window.
They were playing Thomas songs over the intercom. One from "Hero of the Rails" came on called "Go Go Thomas." Will was dancing to it, and when we looked over, so were all the grandparents!
Will wanted to get as close to Thomas as he could.
Then he took a walk down the tracks!

Then it was time to go meet this guy! Sir Topham Hatt!! Will was crying in line...not because he was scared, but because he wanted to go up and meet him immediately...he did NOT want to wait in line.
We had a great day out with Thomas!!!
I don't think Daniel will remember!!
