When We Get There We'll Say Yeah!!

We had our annual trip to William's, AZ to catch the Polar Express Train. This has been our 2nd year and we will be making it a tradition for sure. It is so much fun and a great way to start of the Holiday season. William's is such a cute little historic town close to the Grand Canyon. I want to move there, or at least have a house there where we could escape every once and a while. This is also where the Grand Canyon Railway is. They have daily trips you can take up to the Grand Canyon, which we want to try out in the summer. They have a cute little train depot and it was all decorated for Christmas. We got there early enough for a visit and picture with Santa and Mrs. Clause. The train left at 6:30 and made it's way up to the North Pole. Along the way they give you cookies and hot chocolate, tell the story of the Polar Express and we all sing Christmas songs. It was fun this year because 70 something people from our church came along too and we were all on the same train car. The train ride is about an hour and a half and Santa even comes on and gives all the kids a bell. We had a great time and look forward to next year.
