The tracks before Thomas and Friends Day out with Thomas 2012

Well we are preparing to take B to the Illinois Railway Museum this Sunday for Thomas and Friends Day out with Thomas Mystery of the Rails tour 2012. I don't like to be to over the top, but I think its things like this that your children will remember and cherish so you want to make it fun.. Right? Right!! So in preparing we got him some small (inexpensive) things to get him pumped up about this event. Not that he really needed pumping its trains of course!! So a conductors hat will do along with a new Thomas shirt to wear the day of the event and some small trains. Now of course this post isn't about that. This post is about safety! Now none of us like to ever think that something terrible would happen to our children... But I'm not naive enough to think that it couldn't happen to me. So I had a pit pass template left over from B's two year old Cars birthday party. I decided that I would tweak it a bit and make it perfect for this event. Its an added bonus for him because he thinks things like this are awesome!! I got a Thomas the Train lanyard from Party City for .99 and made the pass below to be Thomas related. Now this just isn't something fun for B, this is a safety precaution. I urge you parents when you are going to places like this with tons of kids to take precautionary measures in case  your child were to get separated from you!

Thank you!

Of course none of us ever want to think of something like this... But it happens! I got inspired while on Pintrest I saw temporary tattoos that were made for a families trip to Disney and I thought it was an awesome idea. Case in point don't ever think this will never happen to me! Of course enough of the morbid boring lecture!! We plan to have a TON of fun on Sunday and there will be a full update and pictures to fallow!

P.s Sorry for the sideways picture... Cant figure out how to turn it... Hope it gets the point  across anyways!
