oops

We went to Pullen Park today to play and meet up with other area Thetas for our annual family picnic. After a few trips around the park and peeking into every picnic shelter we could find, I realized that the picnic isn't until tomorrow. Oops. So we made the best of it and enjoyed the rides.

I used to drive by Pullen Park when I worked in downtown Raleigh and have been hankering to ride on their little train. I don't know why, I just have. Madeline was a bit overwhelmed by the experience, probably due to our close proximity to the train's whistle. Now we know to wait for the next departure instead of taking the car behind the engine!

After we recovered from the train and took a few slips down some slides, Josh took her on the carousel. That seemed to be more to her liking. I was impressed by how long the carousel ride lasted. They kept spinning for almost 4 complete songs - not bad for a total of $2 admission!
