Epic Thomas Day Out
Today was a family outing to see Thomas and his friends on the Watercress Line. Not to be daunted by the fat-bellied, bearded men that run the Watercress Line and the fact that we looked like drowned rats from our last attempt to see Thomas, we headed to Alton.
It was a Thomas-tastic event - train rides on Daisy and Thomas, massive bouncy castle slide, and a very short miniature train ride. We even managed a trip into Alresford where we had lunch at a place when you said "can I have a long black?" they actually knew you were talking about coffee! Oliver pretty much spent the entire day looking gobsmacked and Pip wandered around saying "tomas, tomas" and jumping up and down.
Total train rides: 7
Total excitement factor for the boys: 11/10
Total coffee karma for Jeff: 11/10
Oliver summed it up nicely when on the way home from Farnham train station he commented, "I was excited".
The intrepid travellers
The excitement builds...
Only to be suffocated by Sir Topham Hatt.
Tomas, Tomas.
Up the stairs to the slide.
