Thomas the Tank Engine Exhibit

 When Ramsey was younger, he liked Thomas the Tank Engine.  He would watch the cartoons and he had a TON of Thomas & Friends rail car toys, plus the wooden tracks, bridges, tunnels, etc.  (I think I may have liked playing with those toys more than he ever did!)

When I read that the local museum would be having the [traveling] Thomas & Friends exhibit, I made plans!  It was possible that Ramsey might be too old, but I wasn't, so there's that.

I made plans to invite Charlie, our friends' little boy who's two years younger than Ramsey.  They always have a great time together. 

We arrived in time to get one of the early-arrival goody bags.   Then, we trekked upstairs for the main display.

There were plenty of engines for the kids to climb on, parts and pieces to move, push, assemble/disassemble, etc.  Everything was very hands-on and sturdy enough to be put through the massive amounts of children's play that was ensuing.

As I had figured, most of the children that were there were around age 5 or under.  I enjoyed myself though and am pleased that we can have such nice exhibits in this small town for all to enjoy!

After a stint in the Thomas & Friends exhibit, Charlie, Ramsey, Charlie's Dad (Jonah), and I went to the other areas to explore the rest of the museum.   Awesome day!
