North Pole Express

We had so much fun on Saturday as we rode the North Pole Express Train, to see Santa. Emma was so excited all day. It was cold but we had fun. She was however disappointed that there was no snow. It started to snow about an hour after we got back to town. Here she is on Santa's lap and when he asked her what she would like she asked for two candy canes so she could give one to Heidi.

Heidi had a fun time, although it isn't really crutches friendly, they train staff helped her get on and off and made sure she got her cookie and milk. When we stopped at the North Pole for photos with Santa Heidi found a nice spot by the fire and just relaxed.

While riding on the train, this wonderful
guy read stories to the kids. He is
a great story teller and Emma
sat quietly and listened to his stories.
Doesn't he look like a charater off
Polar Express movie?

They also had singers come through singing great christmas songs with us. It really put us in a festive mood.

it was a ton of fun and if the girls were a little younger we would probably do it again next year. It really is geared to little kids and Emma had a great time and although Heidi had fun, she really was to old for it.

We got to see the Petersons and Emma ran around with Zoey while we were there. It was fun to visit them, but reminded me how much I miss watching their kids.
