Happy 70th Birthday Thomas!

     Happy Birthday Thomas! Kenzo was so excited when he heard the news. We're going to Thomas' 70th birthday celebration at SM Mall of Asia. At first, I was hesitant to bring him there because we'll be travelling all the way from North to South but his dad agreed that he'll accompany us. Yay! Great news for Kenzo :) He was so excited to see Thomas and the gang. He was counting how many nights 'til the big day. After a week, his dream of joining Thomas' 70th Birthday Celebration came true!

   We we're fortunate that we made it to Thomas the Tank Engine's 70th Birthday Bash last September 27, 2015. Kenzo was very happy! When we arrived at the venue, all the kids we're wearing Thomas and Friends costumes and we're also happy and excited to join the celebration. More photos on what happened during Thomas 70th Birthday below :)

     During the event, Thomas and his friends prepared a lot of activities to all the kids who were present in the venue. Thomas' crew also encouraged all the attendees to wear costumes and join the contest. We saw awesome costumes of Thomas the Tank Engine. The kids wore different designs and some were created by their parents.

     The event was open to public. The kids were so happy that day, the venue was full of Thomas and Friends merchandise including toys, clothes, play sets, and other collectibles. Aside from the program, there were play stations and booths inside the venue so that other kids who did not join the contest have other things to do. Thomas and Friends carnival-themed party includes a play area, arts and crafts area, face painting and photo booth.

     Everyone was so excited to see Thomas but he wasn't able to make it that day. But sir TopHam Hat also known as the Fat Controller arrived and performed a dance number with the train crew. The program ended with the announcement of winners. There were three winners for the best in Thomas the Train costumes. I can say all the winners were deserving to win because if you'll look closely, the costumes were made with passion by their parents. It's creativity at its finest!
