Polar Express
On Sunday we took the boys to the Polar Express up in Williams. We planned this event months ago but waited to tell them until Friday night.... Needless to say they were very excited and woke up Saturday morning to write out their wish lists to Santa!! We made it an all day event and left Sunday morning. After a stop at Starbucks for goodies and coffee we were on our way to Flagstaff. We took the boys to a neat little park we found a few months back and let them play for a while then went to Heritage Square for lunch and more goodies! As dusk approached we drove to Williams to board the train. It was pretty chilly for us Arizonians so we had to make sure to bundle up!! The boys were very excited when they announced ALL ABOARD!!! We quickly found our seats and waited for our departure. Once the lay of the land was explained we were off! Who knew a 6 year old would start questioning things like why aren't we going super fast if we are going through a time warp tunnel?!!
We had 2 Chef's in our car and they were so much fun! They really knew how to keep everyone entertained. As we approached the North Pole we saw Santa... (we were on the correct side to see it all and invited other little children to our seats so they could see too). We opened the windows so all the children could yell Hello and that's when I heard the little voice... "That's not the real Santa"!!!! Yep you guessed it our littlest decided all the kids needed to know that was not the real Santa. Who he thought the real Santa was is still a mystery. However once he realized Santa had boarded the train and was coming to see all the children and give them a bell, he suddenly changed his tune. LOL
All in all I think the boys really enjoyed the experience! They were fast asleep as soon as we were on the highway back home.
Mommy can you please take a picture of me and my brother?! (umm YES!!)
Robbing the train or riding it... You decide. :)

Maybe he is the real Santa?! He's so quick it's hard to tell.
