Country Village

With Oliver's swim lessons concluding last week, we had our Sunday mornings free again.  Since it was mostly sunny, Tim, Oliver, and I went to Country Village.  I had driven by this place quite a bit when I worked in Bothell, and figured it was time to check it out.

One of the cool things there was a pond full of ducks and geese.  It says to not feed them (of course) but people where there with old bread feeding them.  When I was little, we used to do that quite often - feeding the ducks at the Arboretum - however it seemed like these ducks were a bit more assertive and didn't mind trying to nibble on your finger to get a piece of bread!

We walked around a bit, and we waited to go out a train ride that was supposed to open at 12.

They had a pretty big kids play area.  One was a big pirate ship that Oliver loved. 

Captain O Pirate ship!

After much delay, the train was FINALLY open (nearly 20 minutes late), and luckily we were one of the first people on.

...only to find out that it wasn't actually a train, but a little tractor (with wheels) pulling cars that looked like a train.  Although Oliver didn't care - and that is the reason were we on it! 
A good time was had by all, and now past O's naptime, we raced home and he slept like a log after a busy morning!
