Vince's Dream Come True

Ok, I'm still trying to get through October.... and Vince reminded me that I better write about 'Day Out with Thomas'.  In case you're wondering, he's still crazy about trains....  so we decided to squeeze in yet another activity in October, somewhere between flying to Florida and flying to California.  I know, crazy month-but fun!  At least we had good luck this time at the Thomas event, as this year it wasn't unbearably hot, and Sir Topham Hat didn't pass out like he did last time we went.  We bought tickets for the 9:50am train, thinking we'd get there in plenty of time and be able to catch a few rides before getting on our scheduled ride.  I'm realizing that it's a bit harder these days to keep up with my track record of being able to get places relatively on time even with multiple children in tow.  Between the kids slowing us up, and Mike missing the correct exit, we ended up practically running onto the train in order to make it!  

We met our friends, jumped on the train and off we traveled through the cranberry bogs of Edaville.      

At the end they let you take pictures with Thomas at the front of the train. 

 Vince didn't want to leave

Only piloting a plane like the Red Baron could get him to leave Thomas!

And this time we got a picture with Sir Topham Hat, sans face on the floor

Mike the Knight!

Luca had fun with his first ball pit experience.   
"Mom! What am I supposed to do in here!?"

Vince and Zoë on the other hand, new exactly what to do
(guess who got in trouble for throwing the plastic balls!)

At one point Zoë completely disappeared and went submerged for a few minutes.
