This past weekend we went down to the Royal Gorge train for a special train that was headed for the North Pole to pick up Santa:)
The kids ready with their train tickets before boarding the train.... you can barely see one of the engines lit up with Christmas lights in the background. It was a very festive train! All of the kids on the train wore their pajamas:)
And here is one ExCiTeD passenger!!
We found our seats and got ready for the ride...
Exploring the decorations on the train....
Checking out the open air car on the train on the way to the North Pole....
....still pretty darn excited:)
They handed out hot chocolate and cookies to all of the passengers. Lorelei's cookie was as big as her head...just the way she likes it:)
After a while we made it to the North Pole where Santa and his elves boarded the train to say hello to all the good boys and girls.
All eyes were on the look out for Santa
After he boarded Adrian heard that he was in the car next to ours and he was trying to catch a peek.
After a few minutes Santa made it to our train car and stopped to chit chat with all the kids aboard. Lorelei gave him her list and said that she wanted milk for Christmas:) That is probably the most appropriate response for my little milk hound!
Adrian also gave him his list and told him that he wanted a garbage truck.
Both kids must have been good this year because Santa gave them each a bell from his reindeer!
Adrian loves his special Santa bell!!
Lorelei was pleased as punch with her bell as well!
After Santa left Adrian was hammin' it up with one of Santa's elves.... it just happened to be a cute girl elf! :)
The royal gorge at night and a view of the train
Enjoying the open air car while in the gorge... and having a bit of fun with the camera
Having a blast with daddy:)
And no trip to the north pole would be complete without a little sit down chit chat with Santa.... or just standing near by with a concerned look on your face if you are Lorelei;)
