Trains . . .

We took a trip to a local garden to see some model trains. We had some fun toddler tantrum throwing when we got to the park. Dallas started screaming and crying when we got out of the car and for the life of us we couldn't figure out what his issue was. It was super embarrassing because he carried on for about 10-15 minutes. We paid to go into the park and tried to coral the screaming kid toward the area where the trains were because the trains were only going to be displayed until 4 and it was already 3:30. You can imagine how fun it was to carry him, thankfully that was daddy's job. We get to the area where the trains are and Dallas is still throwing a fit. After a few minutes of seeing the trains he calmed down and started to enjoy them. We had heard there were trains in another area too so we decided to go see them. Well, of course that started another fit because Dallas didn't want to leave the trains. We tried to explain we were going to see some other trains but he didn't get it. So we go see the other ones and then we walk back through the gardens to head home. The gardens were just beautiful but I think daddy and I were just exhausted from dealing with Dallas that we didn't really enjoy it as much as we would have liked. I guess that is how things go when you have a toddler with you. Some days are going to be easy breezy and other days you want to jump off a bridge.
