Curious George Train

This is one of those trips where things don't always go as planned and with kids, you need to be flexible.

The night before the train ride Matthew wasn't feeling great. He had gotten sick, had a fever, and just wanted to lay around (for a 4 year old boy, you know they have to be sick if they aren't running around, kicking things). He woke up the morning of the train ride and felt great, said he wanted to go, so we thought we would try it. Again, things don't go as planned :)

But while everybody was feeling good, we got some great pictures.

Best photo bomb!

Then we were off! We took a 30 minute train ride to go see Curious George and the Man in the Yellow hat.

Great shot, Ella!

It was a fun train ride until about 20 minutes into it, there was a tree on the train track. The crew got out and probably spent 15 minutes trying to remove it. In those 15 minutes, Matthew went downhill. His fever was back, he started having the chills and said his stomach hurt. All I kept thinking is please don't throw up on the train!

We got to the place to visit and play games. The girls were excited to play the ring toss, matching games, color and earn prizes. Matthew and Jason cuddled on a bench for about 30 minutes :(

We did this train ride for our little man (although we knew the girls would love it too!) so when he didn't get to fully enjoy it, it was a bummer.

So how did Matthew get home? 

Yes, I was way too worried to have him take the train ride home with an upset belly, but luckily the activities took place near a golf course. Matthew and I walked to the pro shop and sat on a bench and rested until Jason and the girls rode the train back and then drove to get us. It was a 30 minute train ride but only about a 10 minute drive. Matthew fell asleep and cuddled on me on the bench. The breeze was so nice, pretty sure I got a few winks as well :)
