Day Out with Thomas

Last weekend was our annual family vacation to see Thomas the Tank Engine in Oklahoma City. Sure it is only 2 hours away, but the boys love it. We stay in a hotel for a night, which they love almost as much as they love seeing Thomas. And of course we eat out for every meal which is also quite a treat. Here are a few pics of the happy little guys. The event is held at the Oklahoma Railway Museum, so there are several old steam and diesel engines on the premises, as well as other types of cars.

Gavin and Gwydion were so excited to get inside that they could barely stand still for this pic.

They both very much enjoy playing trains.

And here they are finally getting to meet Thomas. Gavin was too busy staring to turn around for the picture.
This is their favorite engine aside from Thomas. It is one of the oldest engines in Oklahoma, built in the late 1800s. Gavin loves anything with gears or wheels and was rather disappointed that he couldn't make the big wheels turn.



There's also a caboose from late 1800s, which you can see below. The staff at the museum is working to restore it.



And finally, here's a picture of Gwydion, posing with the statue of an engineer.
