As we drove into downtown Fillmore (very cute BTW), we drove past Thomas on the track. Zach proceeded to get very excited than very sad as we kept driving looking for a space. Once we got out of the car and walked back towards the trains, Zach and Nit-Knee, both saw Thomas and said, "Hi, Thomas". It was very cute.
Going on a Friday was great, there were only about 50 other people there. It got a little busier when we were leaving but no lines or craziness, other than our own boys running away from us (mostly Zach).
So we got there and took a picture with Thomas, walked around the tents, had a snow-cone (I ate most of Zach's) then went on a 25 minute train ride, led by Thomas. It was great. A simple shot out and back but it was open air, went through a tunnel, crossed a busy road where cars waved to us, through a field with waving workers and past constuction sites with working "diggers" as Nicky called them. Both boys were great at pointing out all the sites.
Working part time is WONDERFUL! as it really allows me to find cool things like this to take Zach too and spend time with friends like Nicky of Zach's and mine with Kim!
Here is Zach's new excitement for trains.
