Santa Special with Thomas - Telford

Today we visited Telford Steam Railway for the Thomas The Tank Santa Special.

When we arrived at Telford Railway Kellyn became very excited as there to great us with a big smiling face was Percy.

Kellyn could not wait to get out the car and see what was about. Next Daddy took Kellyn to see Thomas he was so pleased his little face beamed. While we where waiting for our train we looked around the station. There was a Play Train table, Kellyn loved it he was quite happy standing there playing. We looked at the tram waking up in its shed, and also went to see naughty Diesel.

10 o' Clock soon came, Time to board our train. The staff where great helping get the pushchair on the train. We took our seats and we where on our way to SANTA LAND, Kellyn spent the whole journey looking out the window pointing out the signals as we passed them. Thomas took us to visit his favourite tunnel first, When we arrived at Santa Land we headed to the cafe as there was free tea, Coffee and Mince pies before seeing Santa.

We also looked at the fabulous model Railways while we waited for our turn to go and see Father Christmas, Kellyn was so please with his present from Father Christmas he has played with it ever since.

After our visit to Santa Land we had a ride on the Tram and Kellyn played with the trains a bit more. We where starting to feel peckish so we sat and watched Thomas which was playing in the yard and had the picnic i had prepared for the family.

Kellyn & Ceienna where now starting to get tired so we so jumped in the car and drove to the site of the Ironbridge, the children where both sound asleep by now, So we decided to go for a drive through the Shropshire countryside.

On the way we also stopped at Wroxeter Roman City and had a look before continuing our journey home.
