The Best Day Of The Year....For Cal!

You guessed it.....Cal went for a ride on THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE....yes the one and only THOMAS!
Thomas visits our city once a year,
and it is the best day of the year for my boy!

He and NPayne walk down to the depot.....
....get on the train....
....pulled by Thomas....
....and go for a 25 minute ride....
....the best 25 minutes of the year for Cal.
After they ride, they browse around a little
and NPayne takes some photos, then.....
....they start to walk home.....
on the way home, they stop at the railroad crossing and.....
....wave to Thomas as he passes by!

.....and of course they wave at the passengers!
.....the best day of the year for Cal!
From our street corner, you can see Thomas pass by;
so everytime he blows his whistle....Cal runs out to the corner to see him pass.
Thomas is now asleep....until next weekend....then he will take some children for rides!
Maybe even me and Elliot will ride. Then Thomas will head back to the Island of Sodor until next time. Cal will bid him farewell and start the countdown til he comes again.
