We caught the Polar Express train in Hood River today. It was so much fun! I don't know who was more excited...me or the kids. The weather was HORRIBLE getting there! Sheets and sheets of rain poured down but turned to snow once we reached the higher elevation. It made for an even more exciting train ride. It was just like the Polar Express movie! They played all the great music from the soundtrack, served hot chocolate and cookies and took us all the way to the North Pole to see Santa's warehouse. Macy DID NOT believe we were at the North Pole because the ride wasn't long enough. We tried to convince her otherwise.
The kids holding their tickets. All of the children were encouraged to wear their pajamas...which we did!
Waiting for the train ride to begin
Karlee sipping on hot chocolate!
Macy loving every second
Nicholas glued to the window
The conductor came through and punched our tickets. The kids loved that!
While we were at the North Pole, we picked up Santa who came through each car and hugged and greeted all of the children. This Santa was AWESOME and so sweet! Check out his beard...it's real!
Look how excited I am to see Santa!
Nicholas....not so much!
Santa gave out silver bells to all the kids to help them remember to always BELIEVE.

SO fun!! I sure hope we can do that sometime soon!
I love all the pictures but my favorite was Lindsey! I can tell you still believe and i love that about you!
Such magical memories! We did that a few years ago in Durango CO and loved it. I bet Christmas morning will be so much fun in your house. Evan is old enough this year to really get excited. I loved your Christmas card. We sure miss you guys.
How cute! I love the story of the Polar Express. We've watched the movie a couple times this year! I love Karlee's little boots. She looks so content there with her hot chocolate!
Merry Christmas!
