Big Train Ride

July 27th, 2008 by melissa

I was so tired this morning. Bret took the kids to the drive thru Starbucks and got coffee and the kiddos got some chocolate milk. WE decided to go on a big train ride to San Juan Capistrano then go to Zoomars. The kids, especially Justin loved the train ride. It was only about a 15 minute ride but it was fun. They liked sitting in the upstairs area. We went to Zoomars. Both kids had a blast feeding carrots to the bunnies and guinea pigs. They both talked to the animals saying do you want one, etc. It was cute. They both held guinea pigs and petted the animals.

We split up and daddy stayed with Nicole to finish feeding bunnies. Justin and I went to see the goats and sheep. He liked feeding the goats but got a little scared when a bunch came around him. Nicole was overwhelmed with the goats. Then Justin pretended to drive a jeep and Nicole on a pretend horse.

We went and saw the other animals and the kids rode these John Deere Tractor trikes. At the end we went and watched the pony/horse rides. Justin decided to ride one. It was so cute. Nicole and I waved as he went by.

We just walked around and waited for the train to come. The train was so crowded. Justin was so happy to be riding it. He was just looking out the window the entire time. On the way home in the car the kiddos were falling asleep. And right now they are napping in their beds. Ah, nap is good. They took a great nap. After nap we just played with trains for a while and had a snack. The kiddos were pretending to put their trains in the garage/tunnel for a nap. The garage was a book I propped up so they could put trains in it. It was great fun but I was so tired. After we went over to Victoria, Todd, and Penny’s for play and dinner. It was nice, we had a great time. The kiddos played so well. It was nice to hang out with friends. The kiddos loved being pulled around in Penny’s wagon and playing on the play structure. When we got home, we let the kiddos play in the mess from the paver’s. They climbed on dirt piles, etc. Good thing it was bath night. The kiddos had a bath and we read books and off to bed. They may not go to bed too easily since they had a good nap.
