Meeting Thomas

With all of the chaos we've had over the past few months, we decided Instead of a big birthday party this year for Jack and Will, we would do an extra special family thing.

For Jack's birthday we went to the Nashville Train Museum and met Thomas the Train and Sir Topham Hat. The boys were a little overwhelmed at first by the big crowd, but once Thomas rolled into the station and blew his whistle, the boys decided they liked it. There was lots to do while we waited for our turn to ride; there was a tent set up with train tables and legos for the kids to play with, blow up slides (all the boys took a turn on the huge slide) and jump around things, there was a tent set up to listen to Mother Goose read stories about Thomas, a petting zoo (Will loved. Jack hated.), a magic show, and band singing fun songs for the kids.

When it was our turn to ride Thomas, we were all pretty excited. The boys loved the experience and freedom ("no car seats?!") of riding on a train. We moved very slowly, but had a nice view of the Cumberland River,and as a bonus we saw back hoes, bulldozers, and even a fire rescue boat. Needless to say, We had some really impressed boys.
