We met Abi and Josh in Hood River for a day of fun on the Polar Express. They both loved it so much! It was so fun to watch their reactions throughout the entire ride. Hallie has been terrified of Santa and after seeing him twice already this year, she told me before we went that she was going to sit on Santa's lap. When Santa came onto our train car, she sat on my lap, I asked her is she was going to sit on his lap, she told me "no, I'll just sit on yours." Well when Santa came to sit down next to us, Micah hopped right on over and told him he wanted the camping set for Christmas. When he was done I set Hallie onto Santa's lap, she timidly told him that she wanted a barbie princess cowgirl with a horse. She returned to my lap gave me the nervous laugh and told me, "see I told you I'd sit on his lap!" Micah thought it was great when Hobo Joe came by and touched his nose, but was very concerned when we had to turn around because of Caribou on the tracks, he thought we were going back to the station. I'm so glad we went this year, Micah is more into the Polar Express now than he has ever been and of course it was fun as always to see Abi and Josh!
The kids and I stopped at Cousin's in the Dalles and had a fun dinner on our way home. We had a great time especially since the restaurant was filled with toy trains, tractors and even a model train at the entry way. It was such a fun adventure for us all!
