When you have kids, (or nephews in my case), you become subject to a whole new genre: Kid’s TV.
From Toopy & Binoo, and The Big Comfy Couch to the Wiggles and Yo Gabba Gabba there’s always a new song to sing or character to learn.
One of the shows my nephews like to watch is Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. Thomas and his friend live on the Island of Sodor and ride around the island all day taking people to and from their destinations. There’s always a challenge they have to overcome, like a new whistle they don’t like, being behind schedule or a tree falling on the train tracks.
On Saturday, we drove up to Squamish for a Day Out with Thomas.
Originally I was going to review it, but since the event is finished for the season, and you won’t be able to go again this year, it seems a little pointless.
I will say that it was a lot of fun, the scenery was amazing, (it is Squamish after all), the weather was great, and it was really cool seeing the boys have a good time. Thomas looked fantastic and even Sir Topham Hatt, ( a name that means nothing without kids), was there!
To be honest, at 20 months old, Nolan & Beckett may have been a little young. They had a lot of fun and seemed excited to see a real “live” Thomas, but I think if we take them again next year, they will be that much more excited and may even be saying his name. I still recommend it for those under 2 years... I just wouldn’t go any younger than 19 or 20 months.
Here are a few pictures from the day:
