- Did you like that ride?
- It's weird.
- It was weird?
(cheery upbeat music)
- Good morning everyone!
Today we're going to the boardwalk,
but first we're gonna go on a train to the boardwalk,
ride on a bunch of rides, take a train back, done.
- [Chris] All right, let's--
- Go to sleep, do the things.
So I hope you guys like it!
(upbeat music)
- All right, there's the train.
It is train day, we are gonna get on this train,
we're gonna to go Santa Cruz just like Jacob said.
Do you see the train?
Is it big?
Yeah, it's big.
We are on the train,
we're actually inside one of these cars here,
which I think are like a hundred years old,
and there's different cars on this train.
Some of them are open seating cars
and we're in this nice, like, cushy seats.
I'm for this.
How are you feeling?
- Good, good.
- [Chris] Baby.
Baby's on a train.
Jakey's on a train.
(Jessica laughing)
Dunkeys on a train.
Parker's on a train.
And then Bailey might be on the train.
She's definitely on the train
but she's sitting with friends.
She's made a whole bunch of friends on this trip
and it's really sweet and they're having a great time
but they're in a different car some of a ways up.
- [Announcer] Wavers, wave.
(cheering)
- [Man] Happy train day!
- That was all the kids counselors.
(upbeat music)
What do you see?
- Train over there.
- Is there a train over there?
(upbeat music)
These trees are huge.
I don't know if you can tell,
that was a giant, giant tree.
(upbeat music)
- So Parker has some very, very exciting news.
What's going on Parker?
- I'll show you.
- [Jessica] Okay.
- [Woman] He says I felt kinda bad, but quite good,
I did it wrong.
- My tooth is wiggly!
- So it is seeming more and more likely that Parker's
gonna lose his first tooth on this trip
(mumbling)
and I'm almost feeling like he's gonna lose it today.
Or like maybe on this train ride.
- Oh I'm so hurting.
- [Jessica] Yeah?
- It's this one.
- This might be the last day that you have your baby teeth.
Your whole face is gonna change dude.
- Not my whole face.
- It's forever going to be different.
- Not forever.
- Yeah it's gonna turn into a different face,
with different teeth!
- [Jessica] Are you excited?
- Yes! (laughing)
Especially to lose my tooth.
Especially to go on my first upside down ride!
- Are you gonna lose your tooth on a upside down ride?
Don't do that.
- Yes I will. - You're gonna, no,
don't lose your, don't actually loose your tooth, okay?
Keep track of it.
If it falls out you gotta keep track of it.
- How do you do that, 'cause they're really tiny holes.
- [Jessica] They are, they're so tiny.
- And my teeth are tiny!
They can even fit in my mouth!
I'm scared to lose a tooth, 'cause I've never lost
a tooth before!
- [Jessica] It's a pretty big deal.
(upbeat music)
- [Chris] You having fun on the train?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Jake, are you enjoying the train ride?
- Yeah.
- Are the trees big?
Oh, thank you!
Do you have an apple?
Which ride are you the most excited to go on?
- I don't know which upside down rides they have.
But I'm excited to go on upside down rides.
- Upside down rides?
Oh they have that cage one where you like pull the thing.
- [Announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, if your here
for the 4 1/2 mile hike, this is your stop.
(upbeat music)
- Tunnel!
- [Chris] You're in the tunnel?
(soft screaming)
(both screaming)
This is a long tunnel.
- No, it's a little tunnel.
- [Chris] It's a little tunnel?
No it's not.
(soft screaming)
Are you trying to scream through the whole tunnel?
- Yeah. (screams)
- It's getting brighter!
And brighter!
And we're out of the tunnel!
Yay!
Was that fun?
Whoa, it's really bright now.
You like the tunnel?
- Can we go in the little tunnel?
- You wanna go in the tunnel again?
Duncan, you been working on that apple
for a long time.
Wow, you ate it from the top down it looks like.
Did you eat the stem?
- Nah. - No.
Do you smell that ocean breeze?
Can you smell it?
Are you waving to the people?
Oh yeah, there's people up there waving, hi people!
That's the fun thing about riding the train
is everyone waves to you, right Duncan?
Do you smell the ocean?
Do you smell the ocean, Jake?
(sniffing)
- Yes, I do.
I do.
- Yes, yes. - Yup, yup, yup.
- [Chris] Because it's right there.
We are at Santa Cruz.
There's the ocean.
Do you see the ocean?
- I smell it!
- You smell it?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Duncan, what lives in the ocean?
- Waa?
Sand.
- [Chris] Sand?
Sand lives in the ocean?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] What else lives in the ocean?
- Ball.
- [Chris] Balls?
- Yeah.
- I think he's listing things that he sees on the beach.
(upbeat music)
All right!
We made it, we're here!
We're in Santa Cruz at the boardwalk.
Let's go on some rides!
Let's see how tall you are Duncan.
You wanna see how tall you are?
Okay, let's check.
He's?
- [Bailey And Jabob] 34!
- [Duncan] Yay!
- [Jacob] A little bit taller though.
- [Chris] But all these you can still do under
36 okay. - A little bit taller
than 54!
- Okay with chaperone.
You can do the Bouncin' Buggies, the Convoy,
the Looff Carousel, the Sea Dragons,
the Speedway, and the Twirlin' Teacups.
Oh and these have no.
The Bulgy, the Jet Copters, the Kiddie Cruzers,
the Red Baron, and the Speed Boats.
(upbeat music)
That's Bailey's crew.
She's hanging out with them today.
She's growing up!
- Duncan can't go on this.
And me.
So we are going to go on a little kid ride!
Right, Duncan?
- [Jessica] Are you gonna take him big bro?
- Yeah.
- [Jessica] Oh my goodness!
You big boy!
(upbeat music)
Oh, they're going way up!
This is the one Christoper's on.
Parker's getting wild!
(upbeat music)
So Jacob got off the roller coaster
and now he's Duncan's chaperone.
They measured Jacob, this is definitely going to be
his last year riding these little helicopters
because he's like this close to being
too tall for this ride.
(upbeat music)
So Parker's just always bouncing.
You can tell which one's his because it's the bounciest one.
Hey!
How was the ride?
- Good.
I do it again.
- [Jessica] You wanna do it again?
- How was it, Jacob?
- It was fun.
I did this thing that made Duncan laugh.
I go like this the whole time so it went (mumbles).
(upbeat music)
- We're about to go on this carousel behind us,
and there's a cool thing about this carousel.
There's these rings that are coming down through
a ramp and people grab the rings
and try and throw 'em into the clown's mouth.
- That's awfully dangerous!
Our kids can't do that!
- [Chris] Yes they can!
- They're gonna fall off the horses!
- [Chris] You fill that clown up with rings.
Look, look!
He dings a bell.
- This hardly seems worth it.
- [Chris] Are you on a horsey?
You're excited?
(upbeat music)
Say hi mommy!
Jake got a ring!
Awe!
Almost!
(upbeat music)
Oh, Jake's getting another ring.
Here he goes.
Awe!
So close!
(upbeat music)
All right, Jake's gonna get a ring,
Awe, so close!
(upbeat music)
Take your time!
You got time!
See?
A little closer.
You got this one Jake.
You got it.
Oh that was real close!
Awe!
Aw, so close!
Is that a close one?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Almost got the ring, Duncan.
(upbeat music)
Duncan, the ride's done.
Was it fun?
- I do it again.
- [Chris] You wanna do it again?
(playful music)
Parker's number one ride that he wanted
to go on was this thing.
Where you're in a basket and you pull on a thing
and the whole things going like this,
you pull on a thing and it stops it
so that it keeps going the same direction as the wheel,
and then you let go and you spin really fast.
Kinda makes you wanna vomit.
So this is the handle right here.
If I pull on it, it attaches us really tightly
to the big wheel and we go upside down.
And then if I release it when we're upside down,
then we spin like crazy.
- Yeah, we'll do that!
- [Chris] Well right now see, right now we're just kinda
hanging right here.
We're equal with it.
So if I hold it now, then we can kinda
work our way to the upside downs.
Then when I can release it. (screaming)
(screaming)
- I wanna go upside down!
- Well right now see the machine,
the big wheel is stopped, so if I stop this
we don't do anything.
(lever squeaks)
I don't know if I like my rides creaking as much
as this one does.
Ope, now we're moving.
Now we're moving.
See I can get us going, pretty close to...
(yelling)
- This is amazing!
- (yelling) Parker!
So we're at the top right now,
it's actually really peaceful and nice up at the top.
And you can't spin it while your up here,
when it's stopped.
- Well Bailey and Jake are.
- Well, they're doing this I think.
Don't you start doing it.
So why do you like this ride, Parker?
- 'Cause it goes upside down!
- Just for the, the mere fact that it goes upside down?
- 'Cause it's my favorite ride.
- [Chris] It's your favorite ride.
In all of Santa Cruz, or all of the world?
- Yeah, all the world!
- [Chris] All the world?
We just got off, Bailey and Jacob are still up there.
Hi Bailey!
How'd it go?
- Good.
- [Chris] Too much?
- I wanna go on a different ride now.
(upbeat music)
- Now we're riding this tea cup ride
which seems oddly familiar.
Where have I seen this before?
♪ A very merry unbirthday to you, to you ♪
Are we going fast enough for you?
(upbeat music)
- Say no.
- [Chris] Duncan was that fun?
You liked it?
- I wanna do it again.
- [Chris] You wanna do it again?
(ringing)
(cheering) (upbeat music)
- [Man] All right, captain.
- Hey, look there!
(screaming)
- [Jessica] Are they so high?
(upbeat music) (screaming)
- Oh boy Duncan, it's time for the Cave Train Adventure!
This is the weird one.
How would you describe this ride?
- It's very, very weird.
- [Chris] How would you describe this ride?
- Weird.
- [Chris] How would you describe this ride?
- Weird.
- Told you.
- It's weird.
(upbeat music)
- You guys ready?
- [Kids] Yeah!
- Are you ready?
Are you ready?
- Yeah!
(upbeat music)
All right, what'd you think of the ride?
- I wanna do it again!
- You wanna do it again?
- It's weird.
- It was weird?
Did you like anything on it?
- (mumbles) the people.
- The people?
- Yeah, they're funny. (laughs)
- They're funny? (laughs)
(mumbling)
Did you see the dinosaurs?
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- [Chris] Did you like the ride?
- I wanna do it again.
- [Chris] You wanna do it again?
(upbeat music)
What is that?
- [Jacob} Hey!
What'cha doing over There?
- Picture of Dun, it's me!
- [Chris] It's you?
- Yeah!
Mine and daddy.
Duncan.
- [Kid] Did you see half the dinosaur train?
- I see Duncan! (babbles)
- [Chris] Are we moving?
- [Man] Yeah, I love it.
Do we start moving?
(horn blows)
Here we go!
(gentle music)
- Hi! (mumbles)
(gentle music)
Hey! (laughs)
- [Man] No, it's still dark?
It's still dark?
(gentle music)
(yelling)
We in the tunnel.
Duncan in a tunnel.
(mumbles) my window?
- [Chris] Where's the window?
(background noise drowns out sound)
- [Jessica] You're in a tunnel.
- We go?
- [Jessica] Yeah!
- Where the train go?
- [Jessica] It's still there.
It'll come back.
It's just a tunnel.
- [Girl] God!
She said you were better--
- [Chris] Oh, we're out of the tunnel.
- [Jessica] The window's back!
- [Chris] Is that better?
Now you can see? (Jessica laughs)
- Can we do it again?
- [Chris] The tunnel again?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Ah man!
We'll have to wait until next year!
(upbeat music)
(laughing)
- Okay guys, you won.
- There's, right there!
- Bye, bye water!
Christopher is currently changing
a rather complicated diaper
on a moving train, so,
dad of the year award every year goes to him.
- Nice and fresh.
- What was it like getting your diaper changed on a train?
- [Jacob] Parker, what are you doing?
- Pretty cool?
- Yeah.
- No?
- Yeah.
- Yucky?
- Yeah.
(soft music)
- Okay we are back at our lodge,
Train Day was so much fun today.
I had a blast with the kids,
it was a little sad that sometimes they
wanted to hang out with their friends
more than me but also like kind of
a proud dad moment too,
to see 'em go off and do stuff with their friends,
I thought that was cool.
Tomorrow, we are doing archery for the first time.
I've never done it here before.
I don't know what it's gonna be like,
but I'm excited to try it and I hope that you join us,
and see us shoot some arrows!
Hi!
Let's talk about what we learned today.
We learned that Parker's teeth are so tiny
they fit inside his mouth.
We learned that Duncan's response to any ride
is to immediately repeat the experience.
And finally, four out of four kids agree
that Cave Train Adventure Ride is weird.
Thanks for watching everybody
we'll see ya next time.
(gentle guitar music) (laughing)
- Parker threw up in the middle of the night,
two different times.
We stayed in the room today even though he actually
woke up with as much energy as Parker always has.
- The doctor said that
she was thinking that I was really sick from foods
and not going to bed at the right time, I'm like...
