Michael, Thomas, Thomas, Michael

On Saturday we went to Day Out With Thomas, Discovery Tour. (I love how the tour has a name, like this is a rock concert or something). I thought this was going to be some great big adventure.

Michael insisted on bringing his new best friend, Boody.

I was thrilled we spent $50 and drove an hour for Michael to play with the EXACT SAME train table we have at home that he totally ignores.



He did enjoy the antique trains though. I was just hoping he didn't break them.





Look! It's Thomas, made out of Lego's.

Time for a little nap in the moon bounce. (Why does every children's activity have a moon bounce?)

Finally, Thomas! I was not waiting in the hour long line to actually take a picture with Thomas, so this is the best you are getting.




He insisted on wearing his Thomas sunglasses on the train.



So maybe I'm a moron, but when I bought tickets for this event which is just a ploy to separate parents from their cash, I thought we would really be riding Thomas. Apparently, they take a Thomas Engine, and throw it on the trains you can ride anytime you go to the B & O Railroad museum. And Thomas only pulls you back into the station. Another engine pulls you the rest of the ride.

Michael thought it was the coolest thing EVER!




Riding a stupid kiddie train ride, we waited like 30 minutes for this thing, but he was really patient.

And, in the end, Michael had a blast, and that is all that matters.






When we were leaving, we told Michael he could pick out one toy. Once again, one toy turned into two. Every time we tell Michael he can have one thing, he picks the cheapest thing in the store, this time it was a flashlight. We bought him a book also. (Man he loves this flashlight. The cheap piece of crap broke on Sunday and luckily Doug figured out the light bulb burnt out, in a day, a day(!), and he ran to Lowe's and replaced it. We were dealing with a major melt down.)



Boody had clearly had enough by then.

On a side note, I need some love for actually posting pictures in a timely fashion, like, right after an event happens!

P.S. I'm being told that some people are having problems seeing the pictures. I can see them and I know others can as well. Can you email me me at jodi@lucidphoenix.com if you are having problems? I can't figure it out.

P.S.S. I know some of the pictures are missing, and others look weird. Stupid blogger (not me, the program, I can't fix it!) I GIVE UP!!!TYPEPAD, HERE I COME!!
