before we left for the day we woke b.c. up (check out the middle picture! he knew it was his day!). we did the usual morning gifts . . . clothes and a book . . . he loved his thomas shirt and train book. then we went downstairs where he saw his new bed and was beyond thrilled. a giant, over the top, totally cheesy thomas the train toddler bed. he was so happy. he sat right down and said "ride?"! he was in love with it. he opened his other gifts, ate a donut breakfast, and then it was off to the trains!
our first stop was the williamson co. park train. b.c. was all smiles as we rode. he held his little people guy (which he insisted on carrying!) and sat up straight through the whole 20 min. ride. it was great to watch him so serious about everything.
next stop was kiddie acres . . . a very old kiddie amusement park, but kid heaven. the kids would have stayed all day. we all rode the train around the park twice and let b.c. use the extra tickets we had to ride the planes and the cars. the boy was happy. he thought he was pretty cool and started catching on to the idea of riding more trains! :) it was really cute!
b.c. starting falling asleep on the way to our next stop so we went to the park to eat a picnic lunch. we were so close to our new fav place, so mayfield park it was! :) and this time we had food, so we fed all the creatures. it was awesome. the kids were so excited . . . but alread hot and tired!
our next stop was zilker park. we played, checked out the swimmers, and then realized there was a 30 minute wait for the train. it was 103. we were all pretty hot and miserable. so we had snowcones and hung out in the shade and waited for the zilker zephyr! well worth the wait. it was a 25 minute ride around the park! everyone loved it . . . b.c. was commenting on everything he saw while ken tried to hold him in place so he wouldn't fall off! :) b.c. and kam both crashed on the way to the next train. b.c. woke up saying "more trains?".
i'm not sure if it was a great train or not, but the last stop was air conditioned, so it was our fav for sure! :) the train at lakeline mall doesn't run on a track but through the mall . . . and this ride lasted a long time. it was great. the engineer was very entertaining. and b.c. was all smiles again . . . but still sitting straight up and paying attention to every little detail!
then it was to pluckers for dinner (because their mac and cheese is SO yummy and it's b.c.'s fav food!) and then home for cake and play! :) it might be tough to top b.c.'s number two! :) he had a pretty amazing day . . . and then drifted off to sleep in his new train bed. doesn't get much better than that.
