Ryan's ALL TIME favorite movie is the Polar Express (book, for that matter). We were fortunate to score some tickets to ride the Pol X at the Hood River Rail Company. We had a great time- just like in the book, hot cocoa and cookies were served. Elves came on and sang Christmas carols...and the ride ended at the North Pole. When we got to the 'North Pole', which was decorated with MILLIONS of Christmas lights, a huge spot light hit Santa as he came walking toward the train. ALL the kids on board started screaming and were plastered to the window. It was so neat to watch and these pictures are priceless!
Here's Ryan with the conductor:
His ticket, which really DID get punched!
After the ride, he RAN to Santa and JUMPED into his arms! He told Santa that he wanted to see him, "fly off". (as in fly off on his sleigh)
Gage and Santa on board the Pol X:
Ryan and Santa on board the Pol X: Ryan, "I'd like a BIG, black, Dodge monster truck please".
His ticket, which really DID get punched!
After the ride, he RAN to Santa and JUMPED into his arms! He told Santa that he wanted to see him, "fly off". (as in fly off on his sleigh)
