Once Upon A Dream

We drove up to Utica on Friday to take a train ride on the Polar Express. It was a fun experience. The train station was very beautiful....a mini Grand Central. The girls danced and colored polar express ornaments while we waited for our train to arrive. The elves came out and blew their horns. They awarded the first prize of Christmas to a boy in the crowd. Then we all boarded the train. The conductor came around and punched our tickets. There were elves all over playing games and singing Christmas carols with everyone. We finally made it to the North Pole. Santa came out of his workshop and announced that he was finished making toys for the year and would ride back on the train with us. He came around and visited all the children. He gave us bells. He told us about his magic key that he wears around his neck. He uses it to get into kids houses where there is no chimney. The girls want to go again next year. They loved it.
