The girls and I went up to Palestine and met Mom for a ride on the Polar Express. It was such a great time! The first great thing that happened was that we got an extra big hotel room for a little extra money. It had 3 beds, and was the longest hotel room we had ever seen! The girls, of course, loved jumping from bed to bed! After we got settled in the room, we headed to the train station. We were on the first train of the evening, so we got to get on the train a little early and hang out. The weather was rainy and chilly, so we were glad that we didn't have to wait outside.
The train ride was really fun. On the way to the North Pole we ate cookies and drank hot chocolate. They played a recording of the Polar Express book. We got to the North Pole and there were elves and a toy shop and Santa. Santa got on the train and had a silver bell for every kid! Some of the elves got on the train also and were helping Santa. After we got our bells, we sang Christmas carols and danced in the aisles. The girls loved dancing with the waiters and waitresses!
We ate dinner and stayed up way too late watching tv. Going to sleep in a hotel room with everyone was challenging. I finally told everyone to stop making noise, and there was silence for about two minutes, then Brooke started her normal high pitched "singing". We all busted out laughing! Everyone finally went to sleep, and luckily slept in a little bit the next day. Adilyn told me that she knew that we didn't visit the "real North Pole", but it was fun to pretend. Man, that girl is too smart for her own good!
It was a great memory, and I am so glad Mom took us :)
