Thomas the Train

We rode the train in Snoqualmie today and it was pulled by non other than Thomas. Wyatt loves trains in general but has a soft place in his heart for the "Thomas and Friends" television series in particular and so we were all really looking forward to this event.

Our timing was perfect as we arrived to the depot just as Thomas pulled into the station and he rode right past us. Wyatt was thrilled, although he had expressed to me earlier that he'd rather ride on James or Gordon. Once the train chugged past him, however, I don't think he cared who was pulling it.



We were fortunate enough to get one of the only seats that had an open window so Wyatt was able to poke his head out of the car for the best view on the train. When the train started down the track Sammy started to blow goodbye kisses to the people watching from the platform. I tried to get it on camera but was a little too late. This video is cute nonetheless.



By the end of the ride Sam was sound asleep in Ross' arms and Wyatt said that he had a lot of fun on the #1 engine. We will have to take the kids to ride Thomas again next year.
