A couple of years ago, before either of our children were 2. We went on a Polar Express ride down in Palestine, TX. I wanted to make somewhat of a tradition out of it and since we weren't able to go last year I was determined to go this year! Through some research I found an alternative train ride in Grapevine, TX that was closer, and cheaper for the 4 of us so on the 21st we drove up to spend the evening celebrating all things Christmas!
Prior to the train ride there was a 25 minute stage show which the kids and I loved but Josh could have done without.
Daddy and Roy ready for the show!
Mommy and Lilli ready for the show!
In line to board the train.
Getting settled in our seats on the train!
Lilli was super excited! She couldn't wait to see Santa.
Singing Christmas Carols.
Pausing from the dancing.
Roy's favorite part - getting his ticket punched by the conductor.
Here comes Santa!
Out of dozens of other parents there was only one other mommy and daddy in their pajamas. But we didn't care, who rides to the North Pole without their jammies on? Not us!
What a fun ride!
A sneaky shot of the kids on Santa's lap... unfortunately I am too cheap to pay the $15 to get a picture of them looking at the camera.
On our way back to the car.
After not being able to get a good pic with Santa we tried going to the Bass Pro Shop to find out that to get a "free" pic with Santa we needed to be one of the lucky ones with a Santa pass. Oh well, at least Lilli got a ride on a reindeer out of the trip!
