Polar Express

This year I decided I really wanted to take the kids on the Polar Express in Williams, AZ. Sarah and I talked about it and decided we would take both our fams. After telling my mom about it and seeing if she would like to join us, she decided she wanted to pay for the trip as our Christmas gift. So, Thursday afternoon on Dec 12th, we all headed to Williams to surprise the kids with this fun trip. McKai rode with us and she was so funny sleeping all over Bradock. He woke up to her arm in his face and he thought it was so funny. We arrived at the Grand Hotel lodge, had dinner and then got out pjs on to load the train. The kids were so excited! It was such a blast riding to the "north pole", having hot chocolate and cookies, reading the Polar Express story and seeing Santa Claus. The kids couldn't have had more fun. 

The next day we decided to go check out Bearizona. We saw a lot of wildlife including wolves (that literally ran up to our car), bears, buffalo and lots more. It was tons of fun even in the cold. The whole trip really was a great Christmas gift that I hope we make an annual family tradition.
