Thomas the Tank Engine

A couple weeks ago we went camping and went to a Day Out with Thomas. Max has always liked playing with his Thomas trains and has gone through phases of Thomas being his favorite thing to watch (between periods of Diego and Cars). So we found out that there's a full-size Thomas engine that goes around to different places and pulls a train you can ride. It was going to be near Fredericksburg and we'd been wanting to camp in that area. We camped at Pedernales Falls. Of course with the drought there wasn't much to the "falls" but it was a nice campground and the weather was pretty good. On Saturday we went to Fredericksburg and stopped at the Lyndon B. Johnson ranch on the way. Max had a good time camping. He was excited about going and "hooking up the trailer to Mommy's car".  He's ready to go again!

Thomas day was Sunday. Max really liked seeing Thomas coming down the track pulling the train. It's so fun to see things like that through his eyes. We took pictures in front of Thomas, tried to take pictures with Sir Topham Hatt (but Max didn't like him too much), watched some Thomas videos, played in the train bounce house (which was one of Max's favorite parts), and of course rode the train. Max loved getting on the train, giving the conductor his tickets and looking out the window.

It was a fun weekend. Good to get away and so fun to have Max see Thomas!
