Polar Express

The whole gang...

We went on a Polar Express train ride yesterday with a bunch of our friends. We had a great time! It took a long time to get going, but once we were on and settled, our accomodations were so comfy and the kids had a blast. It was only a one hour ride from Springdale to Rogers and back again. They were supposed to read the Polar Express over the loud speaker, but since we got the comfy train car without the elementary school field trip kids, they didn't read it. Which was fine because our kids wouldn't have listened anyway :). They served us hot chocolate and the kids played with their train themed toys and ate a lot of snacks. Another Christmas activity that will likely become tradition for the Lutz family!

He actually cuddled with me!! For a whole 3 minutes!!! If you know Samuel, you know what a feat this was!! We left at nap time, so he was sleepy and sat on my lap for a little while when we first left. I LOVED it!! But, he was up and about not much after this picture was taken.

Fascinated with the train toys...
