One of the other parents on this trip described it best. "It's one of those days that looks like it should be more fun than it really is." Exactly. It was not my favorite outing. We could have easily spent half the amount of time there we did and been fine. But I think the boys enjoyed it for the most part, and we got a couple of good pictures. However, we will probably not be attending this event in the future. It was pretty poorly organized, the announcer was way too excited, and waaaaaaaaaay too loud.
Here we are at the beginning of the day, when the boys first spotted a character, Percy.
The star of the show... Thomas! OK, so it is pretty cool that there is a life-sized Thomas and Percy driving around the tracks... but it's not a whole day's worth of excitement!
Sir Topham Hatt, or as every one here calls him, "The Fat Controller." Apparently that's not quite PC enough for Americans!
The highlight of the day... Riding on a carriage pulled by Thomas. But N was disappointed it wasn't Annie or Clarabel.
The little ride on model trains were actually my favorite part. It was fun to ride around and see everything else going on!
We went, we saw it, we don't need to do it again!

Ah well. You were good parents for going. Next year, do the Hogwarts tour, or something like that! At least the weather looks like it was nice. We just never were into Thomas at our house...
