We went to Chattanooga last Thursday to take the boys on the North Pole Polar Express ride! The both LOVED it, especially little Maddox! He loves trains anyway, so the fact that he got to ride one was even better! We got to the station about 7pm (our train left at 7:30) and after a few minutes we boarded; then Santa's helpers told us the story of The Polar Express as we rode, they handed out cookies and yoo-hoo(which I think was suppose to be in place of the hot chocolate) and we rode to the North Pole! Once we stopped Santa boarded and visited with each of the kids as we rode back to the station! Here are some pictures.... (p.s. there are ALOT!)
Here Maddox was clapping and singing along as we sang Jingle Bells
Looking out at the Christmas lights
this was in the car on the drive up to TN, which seemed to take forever!
poor Jackson said 15 mins before we got there, "Mommy I wanna go back home, the train's too far away!" I informed that at this point it would take longer to get home than to the train station! Poor little guy!
Watching the Polar Express pull up outside the station!
All aboard...
treats!
(gingerbread men cookies and yoo-hoo)
the choo-choo!

What a lot of fun. Grandpa loved trains too. What car trip doesn't get the when are we there line? The boys surea are growing. Thanks for the pics. Love always
what a blast! i bet jackson and maddox just loved that! they look so cute in all those pictures. love you!
I think Aunt Lynn has been drinking. Was that a new language? Love the photos. What fun.
Sure looked like a great time was had by all. What fun for the boys!! Grandpa and I took the Polar Bear Express all the way up into Canada many years ago and it too was fun. As Lynn said Grandpa loved trains! That's a trip they will remember. Too bad a long car ride has to be part of it all. Oh well, it was a great time anyway.
Love to you all

Oh- and I was trying to figure out what Aunt Lynn was saying too.... hahaha!
