Thomasland at Drayton Manor Park Tamworth

Part of Kellyns Birthday treat was Thomas land we had been promising Kellyn a return trip for ages. He woke up very excited and could not wait to get into the car and set off.

Once we arrived and paid our entrance fee, we headed off to the zoo as none of the rides were open. I loved the zoo especially the Penguins and Kellyn has a fascination with Owls and here there are lots of different varieties. Over at the Meerkat pen Kellyn was singing the advert jingle for Compare the Market . Com the visitors were laughing at him so much, He is a natural born entertainer.
10:30 soon came around, time for the rides to open, we walked round to the main Thomas land entrance, both Kellyn and Ceienna were in total amazement as The magic of sodor came alike in front of their eyes.

Kellyn rushed over to the Diesel rides first for the start of the adventure. We had such a great time Kellyn is now big enough to go on every ride in Thomas land and he loved every minute. As did Ceienna she was just so excited as she boarded the rides and disappointed not to go on the bigger ones.

As Lunch time approached we boarded Rosie's coaches and headed to Spencer's activity park for our picnic. Kellyn and i had great fun at the playground. To allow time for our dinner to settle we headed to the New Thomas land Exhibition, Which is a giant model of the Island of Sodor. We were all very impressed.

Kellyn was now ready to head to the bigger rides. Daddy egged me on to go on to Storm Force 10, now i have to say I'm not the best person at theme parks but determined not to let the side down i climbed up the many steps to the ride. I have to say a week day is the best time to go to this place as it empty and we walked straight on to every ride with no queuing. I was expecting to to really scared of the ride but i found it so boring and slow but i was the only one on it as Daddy looked after the children. Next me and Kellyn went on the Cannon where we got drenched.

Time was going fast and Daddy, Kellyn and Ceienna went on more rides, before we knew it it was time for the rides to close and for us to head home. What a absolutely fantastic day we all had. Kellyn has now asked if we can go for Christmas but who knows .
