A Day Out With Thomas




Everyone got up early to make the journey up to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI. Ethan was terribly excited as he knew we were going to see Thomas the Tank Engine. (One of his favorite characters) Grammy and Pa came along to enjoy the festivities too.

The weather was cool and sometimes rainy, but that didn't bother Ethan a bit! Thomas is just as incredible in person as he is in any of his books! First Thomas took us all on a train ride. Ethan was in awe that he was sitting in Annie & Clarabel (Thomas' coaches). Then we had a photo opportunity with Thomas.

Greenfield Village was awesome. We visited a train roundhouse, met Sir Topham Hat (Ethan even gave him a high five☻) and rode a merry go round from the early 1920's. We even got to take a ride in a Model T built in 1914. (Ethan thought it was Stanley from the movie Cars)

Ethan even got his first tattoo! (His first "ink" before 3 years old!) He was very proud of his temporary Thomas tattoo. He kept showing it to everyone. When it finally came off he wondered where Thomas went.

It was a fantastic day that none of us will forget anytime soon. (Even if the weather was not the greatest)
