Polar Express

A group of our neighbors have been going on the Polar Express for many years and we decided that Carter would have a great time this year. We made our reservartion so that we could be on the same train with our neighbors. The Polar Express is up in Williams AZ, which is about 40 miles west of Flagstaff. Carter was so excited to ride a train. We got up there, got a quick dinner and headed for the Train. It was so cute to see all the millions of families that were waiting for the train. All the kids were in their PJ's and many parents too.

My most favorite moment of the night was when we were waiting for the train to approach. Carter and Nate were looking for the train, and when Carter saw it and it got closer, he put his hand up to his mouth and said "WOW". It was so cute. He was so amazed on how big it was.




It actually ended up being on a different train than our friends, but it was still fun. We got hot chocolate and cookies, read the Polar Express book and made it to the North pole and saw Santa. Santa made it on our train and Carter was so amazed by him too. Carter got a bell and just loves it. It was really fun and would recommend it to anyone. We got some cute video that I am trying to upload, but it does not want to work. I will keep trying.

Spotting Santa

We spent the COLD night in a cute little Inn in Williams and the next morning headed home through Sedona. We did a little hike, some fishing and got a yummy lunch at Wildflower. It was a great day.
