The Polar Express train ride has been a tradition for our family for 5 years now. We absolutely love the Polar Express movie and of course our kids love trains. We found that the Polar Express ride in Arizona was WAY better than the one in Utah. For those who don’t know the Polar Express comes to a local train station and you get to board a ride to the North Pole. The train car has Chef helpers (like the hot chocolate ones in the movie.) They serve hot chocolate and cookies, read the story of the Polar Express, and greet Santa as we arrive in the north Pole. The North Pole is a big village of lights complete with the sleigh scene from the movie with Elves and the big man himself. Then Santa boards the train and greets every child and gives them a bell. The look on the kids faces in priceless and it is now and forever a Proudfit Family Christmas tradition.
We decided to stop the the cabin on the way up to the train ride and check out the progress. Only the foundation was poured and we thought it would be cute to get a picture of the kids sitting on it to later put in the finished cabin. Mel and I also took the opportunity to take family Christmas card photos in the picturesque woods.
I think I might have to come and visit when you are going on the Polar Express. It sounds like so much fun!
