Polar Express

Friday night we got to go on the Polar Express. A lady in Beth's ward does the reading on the train. She had some tickets to give away for the rehearsal. It was alot of fun! I love history so it was fun to ride on a train and think what it was like back then. I thought it was funny that now days we think oh how fun and quaint to go on a train ride. Back then it was their way of transportation. Jeremy and I sat in the very last seat right next to the heat. The only thing I didn't like was the helpers were right behind us and they were really loud and kind of annoying. When it first starts out the elves hand out cookies and hot chocolate. About halfway through there is a reader that reads the story the Polar Express. At the end we sang alot of christmas songs.


Grandma Hooper came up early to spend Thanksgiving. She was so excited to be able to go on the train. Grandma and Sariah sat in front of Jeremy and I.


They had the luggage holders all decorated with lights and greenery. There was a very beautiful sunset when we started out.


Beth and Terry were on the same car but about halfway up the car. Emily liked going up to sit with them. Towards the end we sang alot of christmas songs. The reader and elves were by Beth and Terry and the reader said why don't we have Emily help us sing a song and one of the elves held her during the song.


Santa Claus came on board and handed to all of the children a jingle bell. The elves came around and told each kid which reindeer it came from. Sariah's came from Comet.


There was also Mrs. Claus. Sariah enjoyed seeing her saying she had never seen her before.


At the end of the ride I took a pic of them in front of this cool train.

This was in front of the station.
