A very useful engine

I'm so excited that A day out with Thomas is coming to the Illinois railway museum in August. James is buying tickets now.

Hopefully she won't be over her obsession with those weird British trains by then (she knows them all by name and the whole song now).

It strikes me as funny how excited and happy I am that she's going to get to see this. You realize the wee ones have taken over (in a good way) when it's better to do something like this than say, get tickets to Nick Cave (sorry Nick, I've seen you so many times, and while you are sex in a black suit, the Bean's going to explode with delight and that's something I can never see enough).

Hee. I swear, I'm actually bouncing I'm so happy about this.

Erm. Is Nick Cave touring? Because as much as I love the idea of Emily being so excited, I'll be wanting tickets. ;)

I don't think so, that was just the experience I could compare to. Now, if it were Pete Tonwshend, Lorena McKennit or Dead Can Dance, it would be a slightly different ball game, I'd probably have to be a bit more selfish in those cases.

Don't get me wrong--I love Nick. I've just been able to see him about 5 times.

Oh yes it's great too be an engine. . .

Glad the Bean will have a riotous day. Hope she really gets to have some Thomas Train Yard Fun.

If we were closer we could go, too.

Maybe someday.

My nephew the Beast adores Thomas. I don't think he watches the show anymore but he does have tons and tons of Thomas trains and tracks and kits. Sis took him to see Thomas and go for a ride in Ohio last year. He was very very excited!

Fun! We are going to a Day Out With Thomas here in PA this June :-)

There is no finer pleasure in life than seeing your child happy. And no sound can ever match a child's squeal of delight.

Enjoy your adventure!
