After a ride through the park on the train at the entrance, P wanted to give the "tiny trains" a go. Kids could travel on the track by using their arms to turn a crank. There was also the option for smaller riders to get a ride without all the work by having an adult push their train from behind with a wooden pole.
P was determined to turn his own train, for the most part. I love how this picture shows his determination and the effort he was putting into "driving" his train.
C was more than happy to hang out on his train and enjoy the ride.
Next we headed over to the Really Useful Ampitheater to see P's favorite little blue engine. Thomas and the engineers didn't disappoint. When P woke up on Tuesday, his first request for the day was to "go back an' see the Thomas show at the place again". We obliged, but P only took photos with Thomas on the first day.
We planned to spend part of Monday afternoon in Duke's Lagoon, but shortly after we changed clothes and started playing, a storm rolled in. When I looked at C's smile in these pictures, though, I was glad we were able to let the boys play in the water for at least a few minutes.
When we got back to the park on Tuesday, P was ready to go and full of requests.
He milked the cow,
rode the 'dozers (twice in a row),
and played the "watergum" game twice. He won both times, and was able to trade two smaller prizes for this amazing large blue whale. During this visit, P also created and perfected his "cheese" face. I'm pretty sure he thinks he's smiling in this photo.
P also rode a horse
and the "tiny trains" a few more times.
There were lots of other fun rides and activities, of course. This blog post was just an overview of the wonderfulness that was Dutch Wonderland. I definitely think the boys and I are up for another visit!
