The polar express!

Gagi and Gapi bought us all tickets to go on the "polar express". We drove 2 hours to Utica to go on the Adoronak Railroad. It was about a 2 hour train ride (1 hour each way). Santa got on when we got to "the north pole" and came and visited each child. Then we sang Christmas carols and played games. It was a great time and completely worth the long trip!

We had 2 sets of 4 seats across from each other. The kids got to run back and forth between the seats and they thought it was the greatest. There were kids everywhere and it was loud but it was allowed and really fun.


Kiera didn't want to be contained! But she paused for a moment for a picture


There were elves running around everywhere that were CRAZY! They did keep it interesting as we waited for Santa to come and talk to us.


Santa came and gave each girl a candy cane and a bell. Kiera wouldn't sit on santa's lap, but Keeley did. Keeley asked for a toy box from Santa. I have NO idea where that came from!


Happy family!


Gagi gave them matching jammies



Thank you Gagi and Gapi for the polar express and the cute jammies!
