When we met up with the Blaser family, Father Jimmy greeted our children. Referencing their Thomas themed attire he said,
"Ah! So you're those kids!" Translation: So Ali... you're that Mom. I won't deny it. However, it was Eliza who came up with the idea to hand deliver a picture to Sir Topham Hatt. Again, being that Mom, I left her drawing in the car by mistake.
A train whistle sounded in the distance. I looked at their faces as they caught sight of Thomas for the first time. In that moment, being a Mom felt completely awesome. Eliza was thrilled he'd made it from Sodor. I was thrilled we'd arrived ahead of the predicted rain/thunderstorm. 
Time was spent before and after the train ride exploring the Imagination Station, jumping in the well-used bounce houses, feeding animals at the petting zoo, getting Thomas tattoos, etc. 
All Aboard!!
It's been two years since we last interacted with Thomas. Here's a look at Eliza; then and now.
Her devotion continues.
And it looks like someone else has caught the train bug."Ah! So you're those kids!" Translation: So Ali... you're that Mom. I won't deny it. However, it was Eliza who came up with the idea to hand deliver a picture to Sir Topham Hatt. Again, being that Mom, I left her drawing in the car by mistake.

To wrap this up, here's the day's best photo.
We couldn't compete with Thomas as we pleaded with the children to look at the camera. Recognizing the lost cause for what it was, Andrew burst into laughter. 
Fatherhood looks so good on him.
