Kiddie Park fun?

So all day today Thomas was excited about going to kiddie park tonight toride the rides. Non-stop he talked of kiddie park. (For those of you who don't know what kiddie park is, it is a great little park that has kid friendly rides that cost 25 cents per ticket. Most rides are just one ticket. You can go and have fun and it won't bankrupt you in the process.) We get there and go to ride our first ride of the night. Thomas freaks out screaming and crying that he doesn't want to ride. We go to the next ride same thing happens. We get to the little cars that he LOVES...no go. I have no clue what was up with him so, we left. I wasn't going to spend my enegry fighting him to ride the rides. ALL the way home Thomas pouted and said "No home mama, kiddie park". I told him that he was out of luck. We were there and he didn't want to ride the rides so it was time to go home and go to bed. Well, saying it was time for bed was NOT the right thing to say. Holy crap he went into melt down mode. I think that Thomas was tired and not too sure about things. Normally he would have loved to be at kiddie park. We will have to try again another night.
