We Spent Father’s Day with Thomas the Tank Engine!!

June 21, 2013 by Jenni 575 Comments

Disclosure: I received free tickets to spend the Day out with Thomas the Tank Engine in exchange for my honest review.

Thomas the Tank Engine


Father’s Day with Thomas the Tank Engine!

This past Sunday we went to visit Thomas the Tank Engine! Yes, Sunday was Father’s Day and my awesome husband was excited at the thought of spending his day with our family doing what little guy wanted to do! We went to the Whitewater Valley Railway Station in Connersville In. and had such a great time! I will say my apologies now for all of the photos in this post! I couldn’t help myself…;)

My niece and her family went with us so we had a car full. It took a couple of hours to get there, but the road trip was totally worth it. The kids were busy playing while I lovingly yelled at my husband to keep his eyes on the road – like – eleven hundred and fifty two times! 😉 I’m the worst when it comes to that. I don’t know how many times I heard him say, “I’ll just stop and let YOU drive!”!

We safely arrived, thanks to my husband’s good driving skills and my GPS. The first thing we heard from the parking lot was the sound of Thomas the Tank Engine coming up the rail and his whistle blowing!!! When Eli saw the real deal Thomas pulling up the track, he just said, “WOW!” and his face was PRICELESS!! I tell you, it was better than Christmas morning!

We stood in line (which wasn’t very long) and had pictures taken with Thomas and we got to see Sir Topham Hatt too! After that, it was time to board Thomas for a fun 25 minute train ride!

My niece, Shelbi, and her beau Justin sat on one side with their kids – Aiden and Conner while we sat on the other side. Aiden and Eli both were excited at seeing the other train cars as we passed by. They both received their Jr. Engineer Certificates too….proud momma’s we are!!

Riding Thomas the Tank Engine

After the ride was over, we visited the different booths. Eli enjoyed playing in the imagination station booth at the Thomas the Tank Engine Wooden Track tables and the Thomas Stamps station…I know he would have loved to take a few of those stamps home with him! Aiden had a blast on the  inflatable jumping station. Along the way, we found this awesome guy selling balloons. By the way…all of the volunteer Staff members were ridiculously awesome and helpful!
