Polar Express

My goodness what a fun day we have had. Aside from Utahs major win against BYU, my cool husband won tickets to the Polar Express from FM100. Our family has been counting down the days, hours and minutes for this exciting evening.
We had so much fun and I would definitely recommend everyone to save your money and go on it atleast once in your lifetime.
We arrived at the train station and stood in line to enter the train car that had our train number and it was cold. Finally they let us on and we let the children decide where to sit.
They started out with elves helping us, along with cooks that brought us cookies and chocolate milk. Mrs Claus handed out her favorite cookie recipe, then they handed out a story book to each of us so that we could follow along as they read the polar express. After this they had us watch out the window for Santa claus and the north pole. We found him and he came inside the train and asked every child what they wanted for christmas and then gave them a little silver bell. After Santa, they handed out the words to music and we sang carols as we started back. After the carols, they said the time was ours to sing a solo or tell a joke or whatever. We didn't have a shy crowd. Lots of people went up. Lincoln went up and sang of course, Jeramiah was a Bull frog - he did great until he got to the chorus and realized that everyone was listening and buckled. They cheered him on anyway. The entertainment went on and on. There was never a time for the children to be bored. I think when they finally got back to the truck, they ended up falling to sleep within 5 minutes. It was very fun and I am so glad that we were lucky enough to be given tickets. By the way, it's hard to take pictures in the dark and in cramped corners so hopefully some of them turned out so that we can share our fun day with you.
