Last month my family and I out ventured out to Cordele, GA which is about 2 hours from me to spend a “Day Out with Thomas“. For those not familiar, Thomas and Friends is a children’s show about trains that talk. My son is a huge fan, normally I don’t pay much attention to what’s going on when its on, so sorry I can’t give you any more specific details outlining the show. I digress.
I mentioned the event was two hours from my house and I got halfway there before realizing I forgot my camera…and not to mention Lil Mama was not feeling well so I was a little out of sorts. However, once we got there to see the look on his face made the trip worthwhile. There was a real train with Thomas at the helm that the children got to ride on. See.
Sorry, you don’t get to see my photog skills but this train was amazingly cute. I think Lil Mama was a bit frightened by it. After the ride was over there was a plethora of other fun activities and crafts for the children to partake in. My son had a ball. We ate, my son got his face painted and if I had my camera I’m sure he would’ve loved to have taken photos with some of the characters. Like this little boy.
My camera phone you ask? In the car…way to far to walk back and get.
This event tours yearly. If it comes anywhere near where you are, I highly recommend you take your kids…and don’t forget your camera. This is an awesome family outing with a little something for everyone. I just really wish I would’ve had my camera. Guess we’ll have to go next year.
Visit the website here for details on the schedule for 2012.
*I was provided 4 tickets to a Day Out with Thomas. Only a $1M could sway my honest opinion..in other words this was all kinds of awesome. I would never lie to you. I chose to leave out the part about the rude worker, I think she was just having a bad day. *
Have you attended a Day Out with Thomas? Is Thomas a staple in your home? Have you stepped on and cursed one of those little trains around your home?

November 15, 2011 at 9:56 pmWe did the Thomas thing as well this year only we went up and did it in NC. My son loved it as well and was so thrilled to see an actual Thomas. He was a bit scared of Sir Topham hat though. I have him looking at the man like “um, don’t eat me.” lol
