Durango and The Polar Express!

Connor is so into trains and we knew he would
probably enjoy riding on one. The perfect opportunity
came when our friends, the MacAskill's, invited us to
go to Durango with them and ride the "Polar Express."
If you don't know what that is, there is a famous children's
book called "The Polar Express" and many of the small
towns with a train do themed rides during the Christmas
season that follow the book.

As you can imagine, it was a little crazy, with hundreds of kids
and their parents all waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for
the train to arrive, but overall it was super fun and Connor
LOVED seeing the choo-choo so up close. It is a memory we will
always cherish.

It was also fun to be in Durango. I have soooo many pictures
I want to share that I am going to have to do them
in sections:) I hope you enjoy, and that you and your family
are having as much fun as we are getting in the Spirit of
Christmas!!!

even look in Santa's direction!!
