Trains, Dinosaurs, and Pete the Cat

Earlier in September we ventured down to Edaville to visit Thomas the Train and the dinosaurs, and it just so happened the day when we were free and had good weather was also the day Pete the Cat was there. Needless to say Matt had a great day! And Andy found plenty to keep him entertained, too.

The original part of the park, the old narrow gauge train, goes around some cranberry bogs. They added a Thomas the train engine a couple of years ago, and this year Matt was really into having Thomas give him a ride.

Andy got to ride with me thanks to the open door on the car!

After the train ride we toured the Dino Land. This year Matt was skeptical the dinosaurs were real, and Andy was interested in walking on his own.

Centrosaurus

Pteranodon

Triceratops



Baby allosaurus

Trains, dinosaurs, and sticks - what more does one need?

We stopped for a quick picnic lunch and play.

Then we headed to Thomasland.

We then played indoors for a bit.

In the ball pit (There are no photos of Matt because he was too busy climbing up and sliding down and running around with the other kids.)

Matt went on a few more rides while Andy napped before we headed home.

And on our way out we said hi to Pete the Cat one more time. Andy woke up long enough to say, "Cat!"
