railroad dinner

in the middle of tyler's tender they have a model train set up with the whole town and everything. they have controls on the sides for the kids to mess around with and everything!

ok, heres the best part: we had been telling the kids how we were excited to take them to this restaurant because there was even a train that they could ride in! all three of them were really excited about that idea! when we got there we realized the truth of the matter- there was a train for them to ride in, but it just went around this really lame oval track in the room. it was so pathetic that diana and i couldnt help but laugh the entire time! the kids when on it and the two girls had a blast, but i'm pretty sure bubba saw through the thin facade because he pouted the whole time- which of course caused diana and i to laugh even harder!!! the train would come around and we would see aves and tweets waving and grinning from ear to ear, and then in the back of the train car we saw bubba with his arms folded and pouting. and then the train would go around again, and we would see him pouting from the other side of the room... even now as i type this i am literally laughing out loud at the sight of this little guy's disappointment! poor fella...

during dinner i tried to put a positive spin on it for bubba, telling him that i thought it looked like fun and i wanted to go on it with them after we were done eating. well, he took the bait and was actually willing to go on it again! this time he was in a better mood and i think he was in on the joke, so there wasnt any pouting this time! and the girls? well, they were just happy to go on it again!

yes, thats the train on the other side of the room- what an amazing oval it is, huh?

the girls were happy as can be, unjaded by the lameness of the whole thing- ah, to be a kid again!
