Choo Choo Express!

We have been trying to go on the Tilden Park steam train for awhile now. Today we finally made it!


Andrew was sooo excited! He thought he was on the choo choo express and sang the Mickey Mouse song while we rode.


He also loved to say "Hi condocter" (sounded like doctor) to every random volunteer at the station... and loved holding his ticket.


The steam puff and whistle were his favorite part... until we sat right behind the conductor and then the steam puffs totally freaked him out.


The train went through a tunnel, under lots of trees, and had a whistle- everything you need for a perfect train ride.


After the steam train, we headed over to the Merry-Go-Round. There happened to be a big Thomas train and train table there...


It was funny to watch all the crazy kids fight over the three Thomas trains on the track. Fortunately Andrew was only minimally involved in the fighting today and didn't harm anyone. :)


After all the train excitement, we went on the Merry-Go-Round.


And if that wasn't excitement enough, Andrew decided to be sick all afternoon once we got home.


My beautiful and clean house now needs lots of help. He laid around most of the afternoon watching TV... so I enjoyed a break on the couch. By the end of the afternoon he was fortunately feeling a bit better.


Despite the loads of laundry I had to do and lots of mopping... I loved the extra cuddling. At prayer time tonight he just wanted to cuddle on my lap. We made slushies to try and get him to take in more fluids and he was so appreciative. What a little sweetheart.

Hopefully he hurries up and gets better so that we can get back to all the fun adventures we have planned!

yeah, Tilden park is the best! except its really hard for a directionally challenged person like me to find everything there. Mostly the little farm is what we struggle with so maybe you guys were okay. I hope Andrews feeling better!
