Gatlin is a huge Thomas the Train fan for those of you who may not be able to tell. His room is overflowing with Thomas track and trains, he has at least three shirts with Thomas on them and countless Thomas DVDs. So, when we told him that we were going to a train show to RIDE on Thomas the Train, boy, did our little boy freak out! Kyle was out of town so my mom and I took him downtown and were immediately overwhelmed with all of the train paraphenalia to be seen. Not only were there Thomas booths but there was every model train type known to man. Gatlin got a conductors hat while I stood in line saving his spot for the train ride. After about thirty minutes, it was Gatlin's turn to ride. Lucky for him, he got to sit in the very front as the conductor. He was proud as punch and had a blast! We found these Thomas tents that he played in for over thirty minutes and, needless to say, we ended up going home with one. Thanks Grams! We ate lunch on the Riverwalk then we all headed home for a nap. Who knows, maybe someday Gatlin will be conducting a real train. Do they even have those anymore? :)
