Ben has had a growing interest in trains. His collection of Thomas trains has been growing and for Christmas he received extra track from Grandma. It seems to be a weekly occurrence that you have to watch your step in the lounge room so you don’t mess up the track. Here are some tracks – not exactly mind blowing but for someone who is spatially challenged I am a little proud!
We are already regularly visitors to the Ipswich Railway Workshops. We just love it, such a fantastic outing. Their current attraction is ‘A Day Out with Thomas’. You can meet Sir Topham Hatt, The Fat Controller in person. Also climb aboard Thomas the Tank Engine and explore the driver’s cabin. Our favorite is to visit the Thomas Play Pit and enjoy interactive Thomas the Tank Engine activities in air-conditioning – a room full of Thomas trains and track. Ben also loves to have a go with Thomas the Tank Engine art and craft. To wind down we head to the adventures of Thomas & Friends screening continuously in the Theatrette. But as well as all the Thomas attractions there is still all the favorites – Nippers playground and Cooking in the old train. This year Finlay, Charlotte, Bree, Joseph and Baby Tom have all joined us for a visit. We hope to go one more time before Thomas closes for another year. Here are some photos of Ben and the boys!
