Thomas Saves the Day

Before kids were into bilingual animated cartoon characters and witty red monsters, Thomas the Tank Engine was huge...I guess. But ask Hayes now and Elmo is sooooo last year. '07 is all about reliable engines. So when I heard Thomas and Friends was debuting live at the Beacon Theater this weekend, Hayes and I were there!

For 90-minutes at 11am, the theater was packed with nothing but mesmerized tykes and their grateful caregivers. Hayes was totally transfixed. And while I couldn't think of anything better than going to sleep in my pricey orchestra seat, I actually enjoyed the show. It was as cool as Thomas gets.
