Polar Express Train Ride

Months ago I booked us on the Polar Express Train Ride, as part of the Grand Canyon Railways in Williams, AZ.  After we boarded the train, for our 5:30pm departure, we were served Hot Chocolate (accompanied by the song from the movie) and cookies. As we headed for the North Pole, they read us The Polar Express book. As we arrived at the North Pole, we could see Santa and an Elf on Santa's sleigh in the light up village. Santa boarded the train and then spoke to each child and gave them a bell. We sang Christmas Carols the whole way back to the station.

 ALL ABOARD!

 We've got our tickets!

It was just as I had imagined and too adorable for words. The kids loved it and we, as the parents, loved watching them love it!
