Thomas the Train

Chase LOVES Thomas the Train, and when we saw that Thomas was coming to the OKC Train Museum, we knew this was something we had to do. Chase put on his Engineer outfit Grampy got him, and we headed out to meet Thomas.

Not only was Chase about to see the "real" Thomas, he got to play under a tent full of train tables and trains... it was a dream come true for Chase...









It was a pretty big challenge to get Chase to leave the train table area, and it wasn't too pretty. But that seemed to be the way it went for all the parents trying to get their child to leave that area.

There was a lot going on, Thomas shows playing on one train car, model electric trains going around in another. Other tents outside had a clown making balloon animals, and they had Thomas and friends tattoos they were putting on the kids. There was also a tent where fun music was playing and a magician performed. And the biggest event, was the ride with Thomas....

When Chase first saw Thomas, his jaw dropped, and he waved very slowly in amazement that Thomas was REALLY right in front of him....







Chase is playing with his Thomas whistle, notice his Thomas tattoo... he has Percy tattooed to his other arm... Chase also received a Junior Engineer Certificate on the train.





After our train ride we went to meet Sir Top 'em Hat, the train yard manager... I am starting to think Chase is going to follow suit with my cousin Matthew and how he feels about people in costumes...



I told Danny to try to stand him up in front of Sir Top 'em Hat, but that wasn't going to happen, Chase wasn't about to let Daddy leave him alone up there!





One last picture with Thomas, then time to head home...




Bye Bye Hartman family... tooted Thomas...
