So way back in July Zaide and Baba took Logan, Hads & Mads to see Thomas the Train. Maddie had been talking about this event for MONTHS. The babysitters at Kids Club would ask, "are you seeing Thomas this weekend?" I'd have to try and explain to Maddie that we still had a lot of sleeps before she was going. Eventually the big day came and my oh my did they have fun. Maddie still talks about it to this day.
The day started out a bit rough. Zaide bought Thomas t-shirts for the girls. Being the stubborn girl that she is Maddie refused to put hers on. We let it rest and Zaide figured she'd just put it on when they got to Thomas. Let's just say a public tantrum was seconds away when Thomas came "punching along" and Maddie was starstruck. Arms up in the air, as compliant as could be, t-shirt went on.
I think every cell in her being was ecstatic when they actually got to RIDE ON THOMAS. They handed their tickets to the conductor, hung their heads dangerously out of the windows, and off they went. After spending a few hours up there the whole troop went up to the cabin where they got to open goodie bags filled with more Thomas paraphernalia.
Seriously, Zaide and Baba, you're the best. Thanks for making this little girl's dream come true. Can I make a list for some of the things I'd like to do and have too? :-)

Best grandparents in the universe hands down. LOVE the cheesy Thomas shirts, and I know Maddie was beside herself with delight. Thanks for sharing the pix, I've been waiting to see how the big day went! PS your daughter is Stubborn Sam!!!! But I imagine you know this :-)
you captured it perfectly. They could not have been more fun to be with, we loved Thomas and will plan better for next years sojourn.
They are pretty lucky little girls to have such an amazing Zaide! How fun!
