the polar express...






we went on the polar express train ride a couple of weekends ago and we had a blast- it really was a magical experience and i think everyone should take the time to do it. we boarded the train with our golden tickets and the conductor- who looked just like and sounded just like the one from the movie- came by and punched a b in the children's tickets. they played music from the movie and dancing chefs served us hot chocolate & cookies. we went to the north pole -about 30 minutes down the track. there were tons of christmas lights and you could see santa waving from the porch of his house- there were elves doing flips and cartwheels- it was really neat. we were sitting in the car behind the engine so santa and his elves boarded our car first. he announced that the bells were the first gifts of christmas and knelt beside every child and gave them a bell and posed for a picture...he told them to always believe! it was awesome!!!
