Just like many young boys Brayden is really into trains lately. When we found out Thomas the train was going to be in Boone we thought it would be the perfect Saturday morning activity. We bought tickets and talked to Brayden about going. When we woke up Saturday morning it was a cloudy cold morning. We thought maybe that meant there wouldn't be as many people there but boy were we wrong. We bought tickets for the 9 AM train ride. We got in the car and were on our way. We arrived about 20 minutes prior to departure and by the time we got on the train we were near the back. I could not believe the amount of people who came out to Day Out With Thomas. We were thankful that we weren't waiting on the train very long because Brayden was quite antsy but once it got going he could not stop looking out the window. We saw kids of all ages but really Brayden's age was fun. He was pointing out things we saw along the train ride such as other trains on the tracks, trees, birds, ect. When we got back from the train ride there were stations set up and unfortunately this is when the rain started. We thought we may just dodge the rain but thankfully the stations were set up in tents so you could stay dry for a while. They had a creating station where you could color or use stamps. They also had tattoos and of course they had a train area set up with a dozen different train tables. This area was a bit chaotic but Brayden was so excited that he didn't even notice all the extra people around. He was busy pushing him train through the "tunnel". They also had a story telling station that was inside a train car and a music station. Brayden really loved the 'rail music'. They had instruments set up so Brayden was playing along.
