A (Hot) Day Out With Thomas

Amy scored us some free tickets to Thomas the Train, so we took the opportunity and went on Saturday; thanks, Amy. Like last year, it was so hot, and we even went at
9:30 am, so I really thought we would beat the heat. Our day started with tattoos, and then we went to play with the train tables. It is funny how much Landon was entertained with the train tables; we have one that he rarely plays with. We then boarded Thomas. Landon had a lot of fun, while, Ella, and Lofton just wanted the train to go faster. But, the fun ended when we waited in line about 25 minutes to have our pictures made with Thomas, but Thomas pulled away from the station before we could. I think I was more upset than Lofton; not so much because we did not get our picture made with Thomas, but because we had waited for nothing. After that, we had all had enough and decided it was time to leave. So, we turned in our stamped map that was given to us on our way in, and we received our "prize"- a picture frame, which Lofton looked at and said, "Where's my prize?" We headed to McConnell's for lunch, and I think they had as much fun playing in the refrigerator, freezer, and water cooler!
