Kyle Meets Thomas

We spent the morning and early afternoon at Day Out With Thomas. Kyle was in heaven...he enjoyed every minute! There were so many activities for Kyle to partake. Our first stop was meeting Sir Topham Hatt, the Superintendent of the railway and having our picture taken with him. Next on our tour was the gift shop, complete with anything and everything Thomas. Kyle wanted every item in the shop, but of course we didn't oblige his requests. He did leave with a special Day Out With Thomas Tanker Car for his wooden railway collection. To add to his collection we also got him Annie and Clarabel, who are Thomas's coaches.
The main attraction was a twenty five minute train ride in which we had a view of the Mississippi River, Downtown St. Louis, and The STL Arch. Kyle thoroughly enjoyed the train ride and even earned a JR. Engineer Certificate. After our ride we waited thirty minutes to have Kyle's picture taken with Thomas. John and I were pleasantly surprised how adorable the picture is...don't you think? There was a cute mini train which Kyle had fun riding...he even had a date on the ride. (Ha!Ha!)
I am so thrilled we decided to take Kyle to this event. It warms my heart to see Kyle having so much fun...smiling and laughing!
