ALL ABOARD!!
So those locals of you know the Nightmare Express in Lindon...well there is also the Polar Express done by the same group of people. We have never been until today! It is so popular that you have to request a ticket to ride the train! When I found out we could get tickets we decided we were gonna take the whole family!! So Shon and I, Kathy, Shalynn, Destoni, James, Kaitlynn, David, Savannah, Kolton, Jordan and Bradley all went. We missed out on picking up Ashton. :-( Hopefully we can go again and take him with us. Here are some pictures of our Polar Express Journey:
We have to first share our little "Santa in Training" Shalynn's little man came prepared! What a cutie right? Don't tell anyone, but I think he is Uncle Monkey's favorite!
We first went in to a room when we got there and watched the Polar Express while we waited for our train.
Then our train came and this is what we saw...
Then we made it "up the hill" to see the one and only...
Santa Claus!!
My dear, sweet Jordan just jumped right in front of the line and didn't even wait for the others. :-/ But, he was sure excited to see Santa!
After everyone on our train was done asking Santa what they wanted for Christmas, Santa gave us a little thought before we continued our train ride. Here is a summary of what he said:
If you look at the candy cane it depicts Jesus with the little lambs. If you turn it upside down it looks like a "J" for Jesus. The red in the candy cane is for the blood he shed for us. Santa then asked us to listen to the music as we continue or train ride and for us to remember the reason for the season.
One of my favorites...I missed some in between. We heard the song "Mary Did You Know" as we passed the manger scene. That song gets me every time.
After we got off the train there were tables set up for everyone to sent a little message to a military worker and to a missionary in the field. We all stopped and wrote a nice message to all those military gone for the holidays and to the missionaries away from their families during the holidays.
We had a great time...all we were missing was snow. But word has it, it's coming our way!
