I've heard about the event "A Day Out With Thomas" for over a year now from a few other mothers. They claim it is a great event and with Cooper's (and now Isabel's) intense love of Thomas the Train, I have been trying to find a time and place for us to attend it. Unfortunately there really is no close destination for us, so we ended up settling on Conway, New Hampshire (a 3 1/2 to 4 hour drive). We did it all in one day, and yes, it was a lot of driving, but it was beautiful scenery. We drove though beautiful mountains (I think we were on the back side of Mount Washington), little lakes, and adorable little towns. It's definitely an area that we would like to get back to. Back to Thomas...overall, it was a great day, despite the 90 degree heat! Without much shade at the event, the sun and heat were a bit taxing and it definitely drained some of the energy/enthusiasm out of us all. But the highlight of the event was the ride on Thomas. The kids enjoyed the train display, the bouncy house, getting tattoos, the random live turtle that was there, and of course, the ice-cream at the end of the day! Emma was a trooper and was very content to hang out in the stroller most of the time which was a huge help!

Random live turtle...very cool though. He was very large and just walked around eating the grass.
