A lot of times I get super excited about fun events coming to town and think immediately of my preschooler, Kinley. When I learned about Day Out With Thomas, I got insanely excited for my toddler, Karina. Because you guys? She LOVES trains, specifically Thomas!
For Christmas, we got a used train table from a friend, which both of my girls love {gender-specific toys — be gone!}. They play with it every day. Karina also got a book about Thomas and a stuffed toy and they are up there with her favorite items ever 🙂
That’s why I am so excited to take my kids to Day Out With Thomas at Greenfield Village in a few weeks!
Here’s more about the event from the press release:
Preschoolers will get the thrill of their lives when Thomas the Tank Engine™ steams across the country this year. When Thomas arrives at Greenfield Village for the Day Out with Thomas™: The Thrill of the Ride Tour 2014, he will not only take his fans for a ride, but also talk to them for the very first time on the tour! The event, which takes place April 26-27 and May 3-4 and 10-11, 2014, will be hosted by Greenfield Village and presented by HIT Entertainment and sponsored by MEGA Brands.
Day Out with Thomas: The Thrill of the Ride Tour 2014 is a fun-filled event that provides children of all ages the opportunity to climb aboard and take a ride with Thomas as well as participate in Thomas & Friends themed activities. For three back-to-back weekends, little engineers and their families are invited to:

- Meet Sir Topham Hatt®, Controller of the Railway
