On the other hand, Patrick wasn't so sure what to make of Sir Topham Hatt. I really wasn't too surprised by his reaction, LOL.
Kiddos loved riding the train. Something must have been noisy at the time, or Patrick was still expecting the whistle to sound as loud inside as outside.
I like this picture.
And of course, there were trains to play with. There were also tables set up to color and do stamps at, and Calla did some of that, but the toy trains made for more colorful pics. Look at how serious they both look!
They REALLY had fun. It wasn't until I got home that I realized we could have went out there without having purchased tickets for the train ride. I thought they'd check them at the entrance or something before being admitted to the area at all, but nope. Of course, there's no way we could have skipped the train ride - there would have been some serious distress by the kiddos, and I can't say I'd blame them. But it's nice to know you could go for free. I also really thought it was a strange idea to have a video area at the event - I mean, the kids come out here to see the "real thing", not watch DVDs, right? Heh - it was a FANTASTIC idea to have it there. The kiddos needed a place to be able to relax for a bit while we waited to see how the pictures taken by the staff turned out (they take your pics with Thomas and with Sir Topham Hatt, but tell you that you're welcome to take your own as well. Theirs didn't turn out that great, unfortunately, so we didn't buy them).
It was fun. The kiddos had a blast at the other areas as well - the petting zoo and bounce house, specifically (apparently these other areas vary depending on what the location hosting the event has access to). Had a hard time getting Patrick out of the bounce house, LOL.
It was definitely worth the ticket; the kids loved the train ride, and really loved the activities and such.
