    My three-year-old son loves trains, especially Thomas, and our son has never ridden a train except at 6 months old, which he has no memory of. We saw Thomas in Grapevine two years ago but didn’t ride that day. The only way we’ll ride this year is if we win tickets. We’d love to share this experience with friends and family. Our son also has a birthday coming up, and this would be a great gift. http://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fshar.es%2F1grGn5&h=oAQFrhSGG&enc=AZOicTJhJBKdyudV_aRNWoIvzoynvEp-lDR-cbyaoMfEKKE6tpijkhEEJ3P0lnWUsR64HhdyaE3udBQjGSsyNEMd&s=1

    My 3 year old has been a Thomas fan since she was a baby! She watches Thomas the train daily. For Christmas one year that’s all she wanted was Thomas the train toys. Winning these tickets would make her dream come true!

  4. My son adores Thomas. I know he would really enjoy the train ride and all the activities at Day Out with Thomas.

    I have a daughter and son who would love to go see and ride Thomas the train!!!! We watch it every day! this would be a great way to spend a day with the family!

  6. My little girl is a huge fan of Thomas and friends! She will happily sit with all of her trains and play with them for hours – for her last birthday, her party was princess/thomas the tank engine themed. Her grandparents, who live in Scotland are coming to visit in April and this would be such a fun activity for us all to together.
