Thomas--A Circus Comes to Town!

Mommy really isn't an obsessive person. She can usually go with the flow and not stress. Over 5 months ago however, (in November) she received an urgent call from Daddy while he attended a UNI basketball game. Apparently the jumbo-tron had just advertised that Thomas the Train Live was coming in April. Most rational people would think, 'oh great, lets remember to get tickets'. Mommy, on the other hand, had standards to live up to after the front row Elmo show. Sooo, that very night, way back in November, tickets to Thomas Live were purchased. A very proud Mommy had the front row secured before Daddy even returned from the basketball game!

Fast-forward 5 months....Jace sat in the front row of Thomas Live last night!! He loved it of course! It didn't start until 7 pm so naturally Jace was a little tuckered out. Once the performance started he was mesmerized! He was a little confused because it was in the same place where they played basketball. It took him a while to get past the fact that he really wasn't there to watch basketball this time!

Wow!!


Pointing out all the engines....this continued throughout the show.


J and MommI before the show started. He was still in denial (and therefore sucking his thumb) that he was actually going to see the real Thomas.


What outing is complete without fruit snacks? The boy cannot get enough of them.


No applause please....Mommy knows she rocks at getting close seats!

All the engines in the finale.


The problem with Mommy's now streak of 2 consecutive front row shows is that she has set the bar a little high for herself. Jace probably thinks this is how he's always gonna roll!
