This past Thanksgiving holiday, while my family were all in town, we took a trip on the North Pole Express.It traveled from Heber City, UT to the North Pole and back home again. Jax is HUGE fan of anything trains and one of his favorite books and movies is The Polar Express.
This is Jax with Mrs. Clause.
Jax watching out the dark window. He loved watching the moon lit scenery go past. The train was so beautiful. It was over 100 years old. However, since it was so old there was VERY little heat. But all in all it was a super fun time.
Everyone in the train car sang songs and had cookies and hot cocoa. This is Emma and her cousins, Maryn and Mallory, singing Jingle Bells in front of everyone. As a side note, Emma decided she wanted to tell a joke to everyone. This was an issue to me because her idea of a joke is really not a joke. It's a weird story. So I got a little worried and embarrassed ahead of time for her. Ryan reassured me that she's young and just let her be innocent. So this is her joke, "Why didn't the reindeer fly in the sky?" "Because they were sick." See I told you. Then Mallory, who is 9 months younger than Emma said, "Why didn't the reindeer fly in the sky?" "Because they were dead." Ryan turned to me and said, "see at least her joke wasn't as morbid as dead." It ended up just being funny and everyone were really nice and laughed for them anyway. ;-) Thanks train car friends for making them feel good about themselves.
Mallory, Emma, Jax, Maryn, and Courtney getting to meet Santa when he boarded the train at our stop at the North Pole. Jax was so in awe that he couldn't look away.
Our family picture in front of our train car. Man was it freezing that night. The temp was in the teens in Heber City. This was an awesome family outting and we had such a great time. Somehow though I didn't get a picture of my mom, or my sisters, Jacque and Misty. They went with us too.
