The Polar Express

The Polar Express came to Lubbock this year. For those of you who don't know, it is a train ride patterned after the movie. We took Connor and Alyssa and had a great time. It was Greg and I's first train ride as well. It lasted about an hour and we rode to the "North Pole" and Santa and his elves boarded and gave all the kids bells like the movie. We were served hot chocolate and a cookie on the way and listened to the story of the Polar Express and sang Christmas carols. It was a great way to celebrate the holidays and the kids really enjoyed it.


The Conductor let Connor hold his lantern.









The Conductor punched each kid's first letter of their name in their ticket.



Santa is handing them their bells.



I can hear it ringing!! (Which according to the movie means you believe in Santa!)


I can hear it too!!
