Day Out With Thomas 2011

Last year was Eliot's first experience at a Day Out With Thomas at Edaville Station in Carver. We went as part of his birthday gift. We spent the whole morning there, then came home to nap. As soon as he woke up from his nap, he asked to go back... and he's been asking to go back to "Thoma" ever since.

Edaville looked like it wasn't going to open at all this year, but finally, it was sold and they were quick to put up DOWT dates. We were keeping a close eye and ordered tickets just as soon as we could. we were so excited for Eliot.

We woke up Saturday and I whispered to Eliot that TODAY was the day we were going to see Thomas. His eyes LIT up as he said "TODAY?!" It was priceless.

This year, my Sister-in-law, Carolyn, planned to go at the same time so Eliot had even more fun with his two cousins-- both on Thomas, and on all the other rides and structures. Eliot kept going back to an antique (play) fire engine and we three (as a family) had some laughs and fun on a see-saw.

It looked like it was going to rain (and at time, it did drizzle), but all in all, we were very happy with the weather and the way the day turned out; Eliot especially.
