The Polar Express






Josh had the opportunity to go to the Polar Express at the Sacramento Railroad Museum. He went with my parents and a girl from my parents ward named Rachel. They had a great time. They actually road in the dinner car and travel along the American River. The music was wonderful and the story was narrated throughout the train cars.






Josh wore his new pj's for the occasion. Parker has matching ones for Christmas.







This is Josh and Rachel with a couple of Elves.



The conductor came by and punched everyone's tickets.




They sat at a table and enjoyed a cookie along with a cup of hot chocolate.




The Christmas ghost came through their train car. Josh was a little afraid, but he looked a lot like the character.



Then of course they arrived to the North Pole and met Santa. He gave them each a bell. When Josh came home that night he shot through the front door like a bullet, full of excitement! He had to tell us about all the details. What a wonderful memory he made. I think he'll remember it forever!
