Polar Express

On Saturday, we went to the train museum where they had a 'Holiday Express' celebration. Connor loved seeing this huge train.

They had smoke blowing out of the top and real train sounds (that's why Connor's covering his ears- it was very loud). Kinda reminds you of the Polar Express train. They even did a reading of that classic story along with other Christmas stories for the kids in the museum.
Inside the museum, Connor loved seeing the ABC's on this wheel. It was a demonstration of the old Telegraph and Morse Code system used by the railroads before telephones were invented.Connor had fun riding the kiddie train.
I love seeing the train depot in the background.
Then Santa and Mrs Claus arrived-- on a Harley!! Check out Mrs Claus' red fishnet stockings! My friend Teresa wouldn't even take a picture; she thought it was a bit too raunchy. Yeah, I agree. I just thought it was funny. Connor and Scott were occupied at the craft table so they didn't see Jolly Ole Saint Nick's biker chick showing some leg.
Thankfully that skirt came down to her knees so I felt comfortable letting Connor get his pic with them.
Cute little pedal pusher train car they were raffling off. Connor thought it was adorable.
