On Thursday, December 17th, Mommy, Daddy and Granny took me on the Polar Express. We drove up to Williams, AZ (outside of Flagstaff) which was about a 3 hour drive. When we got there we ate dinner and looked around. There was snow everywhere!! Mommy and Daddy got me new pajamas to wear. All the kids that were going on the train had PJ’s on….even some of the Parents too!! We boarded the train and left the station for the North Pole at 6:30PM. The ride to the North Pole was about 30 minutes. They had waiters like in the movie and they passed out cookies and hot chocolate. I don’t like hot chocolate though. Then they read the story of the Polar Express to the whole train!! It was a really big train. When we were getting close to the North Pole they had us look out the windows. Then I saw it!! I saw Santa’s house and the Toy factory and Santa was even sitting out in his sleigh waiting for us. We didn’t get to get off the train, but Santa boarded the train!! He came to each child and gave them a silver sleigh bell!! I could hear it ring because “I believe”!! I was shy when Santa came over to me. I was excited to get my bell and gave him a high five though. Then on the way back we all sang Christmas carols!! We got back to the train station around 7:45pm. Then we drove home to Phoenix. I held and rang my bell the whole time!! I would fall asleep, but then would wake up and ring my bell to make sure I still had it in my hand. We made good time getting back! It was such a fun trip!! I can’t wait to go again next year!
What a fun trip - I love reading The Polar Express, and I've watched the movie, too!!
