Trip on the Polar Express

Last night we surprised the kids and took them on the Polar Express to the North Pole. We told them we were going to the mountains to build a snowman. We pulled into the train station and we told them we were lost and that we should go in the station to find out where we were. As we walked by the train they kept asking "are we going to get on a train?" I just said "Do you want to? " After a couple of times of them asking I said "OK lets get on!" Carson and Abbi were so excited as we boarded the Polar Express.



On our trip to the North Pole they served Hot Chocolate and Cookies, Read the book Polar Express, and had a Christmas Carol sing along. The best part of the trip was seeing Mr. and Mrs Clause. First the kids saw Mrs. Clause and thought that was pretty neat. Abbi said " I never seen her before" Then Santa came into our train car. All the kids on the train shouted SANTA and were all so excited. Santa gave all the kids a sleigh bell from the reindeer's harness and talked to each one of them.

If you haven't been you should take your kids at least once.
