Heber Polar Express

For Sam's Polar Express birthday, Grandma and Grandpa Miller took all of us on the Polar Express Train in Heber.  We had a great time at the station waiting to board.  It was such a cold night that we couldn't wait to get into our train car.

 Sam was very responsible and showed the elves all of our tickets so we could get on board.




 We got yummy cookies and hot chocolate and our very own mugs to keep.

 We had a great entertainer who sang fun Christmas songs for us.
 Once we reached the North Pole we were all on the look out for Santa.  Sam couldn't wait to let him know that he wanted "Hobbit" Legos, James told him he wanted "Luke's Ship" and Chloe informed him that a white puppy would be just great.
 If you thought Sam was excited to see Santa, you realized that the Conductor was ranked right up there with him.  Sam was so excited to meet the conductor and have him punch his ticket.




 On the way back to Utah out train broke down.  It was a long wait and ride back as all the kids had already had their treats and met Santa.  The workers were great and tried very hard to keep us all entertained.
 As soon as we got a new engine to pull us we could tell they were trying to make up time because we were flying.  Every time we came to a crossing the diesel let its horn blow long and loud.  The kids went crazy with giggles every time they heard it because it was so loud!
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for such a fun night out!
