We joined what seemed like a few other million parents this morning and took Alec to the traveling Thomas the Train exhibit. It was at an old railway museum in Union Illinois, a random farm town about an hour wes of us. It was actually a nice drive and fun for us to explore some parts of the farm country we hadn't seen before. Alec talked all week long about how he wanted to meet Sir Topham Hatt, and was more that excited about the whole Thomas show. Getting into the parking lot was a little insane, it took us about 45 minutes, but then once we made it in we were able to wade through the people fairly smoothly and there was a ton to see and do. Matt really enjoyed checking out all the old Chicago railway cars, and Alec loved Sir Topham Hatt and his ride on the "real" Thomas train. There was actually way more to do than we had time for, and we had to leave after our train ride b/c Alec was exhausted, but we still had a very fun time.
Meeting Topham Hatt
Alec collected a handful of rocks for Sir Topham Hatt while in line - here he is trying to hand them off.

Riding on the Thomas coaches - there were about 8 of them, but Alec was sure we were on Clarabel.

All in all, a good day for the fam

Of course Alec would try and give rocks to Topham Hatt. His favorite thing in the world for one of his favorite guys! Looks like it was really fun.
Looks like fun! We are going to Day Out with Thomas at the Golden train museum next month. James already asked if we could bring Alec :-)
How fun! Alec and Matt both look like they loved every moment of it. I'm sure he'll talk about it for a long time.
Haha! I know nothing about Thomas, but I absolutely love that Alec decide you were on Clarabell.
