Today I took a trip to Edaville Railroad to meet one of my favorite literary characters, Thomas the Tank Engine. I was beside myself with joy when we pulled in and I caught a glimpse of Thomas chugging down the tracks.

Once I knew that Thomas was there, I developed a one track mind. (Get it? Track? I crack myself up). I did not want to do anything BUT ride on Thomas. My expression in this picture sums up my feelings towards the other rides and attractions.

Mommy tried to convince me that this train was Thomas' friend Emily but I knew better. Emily is green and has a face. I decided to be a good sport and pose for a picture anyway.

Here we are waiting for our turn to ride on Thomas.

I got a "Jr. Engineer Certificate" on the train and I was very excited about that.

I added some color to it when I got home.
I got a new train and some new trucks while we were there. I even managed to play with them for a few minutes before I fell asleep on the way home.
