DOWT - Part 1

Matt and I have been waiting for months to take Nathan to a Day Out With Thomas (DOWT) event. We decided to go to the one in Cordele. We didn't tell Nathan about it until a few days before, though, because we knew he would be asking about it every day. We knew that we would get to ride on Thomas's train, but the details about the rest of the event were a bit vague. We didn't exactly know what to expect, but we figured it would still be a fun family outing. So, here is part one of the recap:

Nathan got his ticket when we arrived at Georgia Veterans Memorial Park. We actually didn't need the ticket for anything but the train ride itself, so we took it back until we got to the train.


There was a big tent set up with all kinds of activities. Since we were there a little early, we let Nathan enjoy a few before heading to where the train was located. Here he is stamping some of his favorite engines. (Notice that William also got to enjoy this event.)


They also had coloring sheets and markers. That didn't last long, though, because...


...he quickly spotted the actual trains that he could play with. They had 5 or 6 tables set up with (I think) three different types of Thomas trains. Luckily, there weren't too many kids around to compete with!


Caroline enjoyed hanging out and watching all the people as well as Nathan playing.


I think it's funny that one of the things that he got most excited about was the bubbles. They had machines set up all over the place that would occasionally blow bubbles.
