A Day out with Thomas

When I heard that Thomas the Tank Engine was going to be in Grapvine. I knew we had to go. We called Gigi and asked if she wanted to drive down and go with us (I was a little concerned going taking both of them by myself to such a big event. ) Gigi was in and headed our way. Saturday morning we ventured out and headed for Grapevine. It was a wonderful day full of adventures. I love these kind of days!


Paxson digs funnel cakes!!!!!!!


1st funnel cake (Parker has had bites before but must not have remembered how delicious they are!!!!!)



They both were hands on with it!

Visiting the Blacksmith. Parker even made a spark. :)

They both enjoyed taking a break playing in the sand box. It was a nice big box with several trucks, shovels, and various other sand toys. At one point the sand box became very crowed with little kids. One little girl (with her mother right next to her) came up and took Paxson's truck. His reaction was to cry. My reaction was to go get my sons toys back!!! The mother acted like she didn't realize...huh... How could she not have realized he was playing with it. I realized that Mamma Cub needed to come out and protect her baby cubs. I jumped in the sandbox (not caring that I was the only adult in the sand box) and sat right next to Park and Pax guarding their possession's. It's funny how that trait becomes ever so present when you feel your children need help defending themselves. However, Parker and Paxson didn't seem bothered by the crowded sandbox they enjoyed playing and played for quite sometime.




We had lunch and watched the magic show. They both really enjoyed the show. I believe the video proved that!



Audience participation was fully supported by the Piper. They passed out musical instruments to all participants and formed conga lines dancing with their instruments. It was cute.


Paxson wanted to but wasn't really sure about the slide once he got up to the top. What do you think happened after he slid down the first time. :) It took great distraction techniques and a really cool sand box to get him to leave the slide.



The jump house and slide were a big hit. Plus it was free, unlimited, and well supervised (no cutting in lines) LOL





This is just after they received their Thomas tattoo.
