Mr. Choo Choo Rider

It is a cliché to say they grow up so fast, but clichés evolve from common truths. We first encountered carnival rides at last years’ International Bar-B-Q Festival. The boys were just 17 months old then and hesitant to leave our side to ride the attractions. Their favorite ride last year was a little oval with 1950’s mini-cars. They were resistant to ride many of the other larger pre-school rides. On Saturday, the moment Trey Davey saw the Choo Choo trains, he wanted to ride them. In fact, he nearly dislocated my arm leading me to the ride. Afterwards, we rode a number of other rides, but he wanted to return to the trains. When they rode the mini 1950’s cars, he looked bored, like it was too immature for him now. Once we made the rounds, we returned to the trains for another go.
