The Polar Express!

Today we took the girls on a drive to Williams and surprised them with a ride on The Polar Express.  It was very similar to the book, except that the adults got to go too!  We boarded the train, they fed us cookies and hot chocolate, and then read us the story "The Polar Express".  Then the train made its way through a tunnel that warped us to the North Pole where we got to see a small village with workshops, elves and reindeer.  While we were they we sang Christmas Carols and then Santa boarded the train and gave every kid their own bell.  Leah was so excited, but Kenzie was not really sure what to think.

The worst part of this trip was that I had the stomach flu, but I toughed it out and we had fun!
