A day out with Sir Thomas the Tank Engine November 15, 2003

"Thommy Choo Choo" is Peter's hero.  Occasionally Peter will say "Thommy choo choo" and nod his head, as though he's having a discussion with someone about a very important topic.

Phil and I and Petra took Peter and Ryan to see Thommy Choo Choo in person at the train museum in Perris California.

We could have gotten closer to Thomas if we were willing to stand in line for the official photo...  

These people stood in the line.

Pascal rode the train too

Ryan was not afraid of Toppam Hat

The boys liked to model train as much as the full sized one.

Petra and Ryan watching Thomas pull the train. (or pretend to pull it.)

Peter learned to use the train whistle right away.

Thommy Choo Choo is way in the distance in this photo.

** this would be a picture of Petra in her Tommy Choo Choo hat, but she backed out on buying a hat.
