The Polar Express
Last Saturday we took the kiddos on a train ride...... but not just any ol train ride.... it was The Polar Express train ride to the North Pole, to visit Santa!
A couple months ago a friend of mine told me about a train ride down in Mt. Pleasant. You board the train & take a ride to the North Pole! It sounded great, who wouldn't want to ride the Polex to visit Santa! Plus my kiddos are sooo into the Polar Express movie that it sounded fun. So we ordered up some tickets & waited for December 12th!
It was WONDERFUL!! The kiddos loved it, we (me & DJ) loved it & the grandma's loved it!
We boarded the train & while we rode to the North Pole we listened to the Polar Express book over the speakers.... then we arrived.... pulling into the town of The North Pole. While we were at The North Pole we got to sit & enjoy some of Mrs. Claus' cookies & hot chocolate.
We also made some crafts- some cute stocking ornaments and found some good "photo ops" & of course meeting the big guy himself- SANTA! Santa also showed the kiddos his very cool watch that helps him stay on schedule Christmas Eve.
It was such a good time, I loved just watching the kiddos take everything in. Hopefully we just started a new tradition we can do every year.
