Tonight we had the best time! We bundled up in our pajamas, coats and scarves and headed out into the cold to ride on the Polar Express! Our train departed out of the Grand Canyon Railroad station in Williams AZ. Before we left, we were able to get a few photos with Mrs. Claus in the waiting area. We boarded our train and were served Hot cocoa and chocolate chip cookies by the chef on board. Then we listened to the book Polar Express. When we got to the 'North Pole', Santa boarded the train and gave all the kids a jingle bell. On the way home we sang Christmas carols. It was the perfect way to start the Christmas season. I think it will be a yearly tradition for us. Matt and Cait were enamored by everything that happened on the way up and back. Josh, at almost 10, thought he was too old and cool to be there. But I could tell he had a really good time too. Ryan, well, he was a maniac as always. He was up and down the aisles, on and off the seats. The cocoa and cookies didn't even keep his attention for long! Oh my! It was a bit too much for Cait. She threw up twice on the way home. Yuck! I sincerely hope that doesn't become a yearly tradition!
