We went to Boone, IA today to go on the Polar Express Train ride through the beautiful Iowa countryside. The kids wear their pajamas and they get to meet Santa Claus, who gives them a special Christmas jingle bell. We also sang carols on the way back. It was a nice way to spend a pre-holiday Saturday with the kiddos.
Every train car has a reader and an elf that read the story to the kids, and passed out cookies and hot chocolate, just like in the book. The girls just got the book so the significance of the treats was a bit lost on them, but they enjoyed them nonetheless.
Doc and G-man.
Kids and Mom.
Girls enjoying the scenery. Don't they look so sweet?
Then this is what happens when you take two girls who haven't napped out on a train for 1 1/2 hours and feed them pure sugar to eat and drink! They both fell asleep on the way home :)
