Gavin Learns Not To Destroy The Tracks At Our Day Out With Thomas
Aiden used to love “Thomas The Tank Engine”. We watched the show all the time and had tons of the plastic tracks to build railroads with. However, Gavin soon became mobile and started trashing the sets. So the tracks went into storage until Gavin was old enough to play with them too. Now is the time to get Gavin acclimated to Thomas.
The annual “Day Out With Thomas” at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois, was held this weekend. Just in time too, since we recently pulled the Thomas tracks out of storage for Gavin to play with. We also went last year, but Gavin was just along for the ride. He’s old enough to really enjoy it this time though.
The whole family took a ride on Thomas, or at least a train with a Thomas engine at the front. We got photos taken with Sir Topham Hatt (he’s real!). The boys played in a bouncy house. Aiden and Gavin saw plenty of trains, and we all rode in a vintage trolley, which was in much better shape than the not-quite-restored rail cars pulled by Thomas.
On the way home, we ate lunch at the Wild West Steakhouse just down the street. The Railroad Museum is seriously out in the middle of nowhere, so it’s surprising that there is a Wild West Town in the same area. The food wasn’t bad, and the boys got to meet the Sheriff, so maybe we’ll stop by there again next year.
