Polar Express

I am so excited because we were able to take Ty on the Polar Express.  This year he really got into the movie and so taking him on a train ride and seeing the amazement in his eyes as we reached the North Pole was just simply amazing.
We were waiting to go on the train.  He was just so excited.  It was so much fun, I don't remember ever being on a Train, so this was a unique, and fun experience for both of us. 
We got on the train, and they had the music from the movie playing in the background.  We waited for everyone to board, then the train started to move.  You could feel the excitement in the air from everyone.  We were so excited when the elf started to read the story of the Polar express to all of us.  

Then true to the story we were all served Hot Chocolate and a cookie.  It was perfect.  Soon after we arrived at the North Pole.
 
At the North Pole there was so many wonderful sites.  You had snow men that were playing, and reindeer that were together.  There were beautiful homes, and the famous North Pole Post office, where you could see all of the busy workers getting ready for the big day.  
Looking around, you could see and feel the Magic of Christmas, which is a blessing, since most of the time, finding the magic of Christmas anywhere is impossible.  Then as the excitement started to build, here came Santa!!  
The best part of the train ride, was to watch the joy when Santa got on the Train, and gave all of the Children bells.  

What a wonderful experience.  I am looking forward to experiencing this again next year.
