The Polar Express

Chunky waiting to get on the Polar Express Train. I love the excitement on his face!
Quick family photo before departing!
Listening to see if he could hear the bell. He did and loved it!
Waving goodbye to the North Pole!
Getting off the train and making plans for next years return!

Last night, we went to The Polar Express Train in Fishers, IN. This was sponsered by the Indiana Transportation Museum. When we got there, we saw a slide show with live voices of the famous book. Next, we hopped aboard the train for a 1 hour ride to the North Pole (Also known as Noblesville, IN), passed by Santa's house, drank hot chocolate, ate lots of cookies and candy, sang carols, and had a live visit with Santa and the Mrs. It was so much like the movie. I loved watching my little boy's face and found the visit to be well worth the money and drive! I can't imagine what it would have been like if my favorite movie turned into real life when I was 4 years old! We even got a Christmas ornament and conductor's hat for the memories. We can't wait to go again next year! We finished off the night by driving through the Frankfort, IN park which was filled with thousands of lights! It made for a great finish to a perfect night!
