Ice Train

Last year, we took Abby on  a dinosaur train when she was about 18 months and she was the littlest one there.  We thought she would love it but she cried the whole time.  A year later we gave it another shot and she seriously loved it. 

The latest event at the mall was the Ice Train.  They had lifelike animals set up throughout the mall- mammoths and lots that I have never heard of from way back when.  Abby hasn't stopped saying, "Remember (sounds like Nemba) when I went on a train with animals?" since we went.   

We had lunch at Farrell's and feel no need to go back anytime soon.  The whole lobby is full of candy and junk to taunt 2 year-olds.  Abby patiently waited for her tootsie pop until the end though after a few tears.

After lunch, it was the kids turn for the Ice Train!  Abby had a firm grip on her treat from lunch throughout and enjoyed the animals.  Zack initially was super excited then cried for a bit (we never really figured out why) and then went back to excited. 

 After, they hadn't had enough of the animals.  Zack almost hopped through the gate!

 Matt took the tootsie pop from Abby as she fell asleep and Zack took it from him (not my favorite treat for a 1 year old!) but it was so cute to see him and Matt sharing:).  They ate it all.  Unfortunately, Abby woke up and the first thing she asked for was her tootsie pop...TANTRUM!
