ALL ABOARD!!!

We had the unique opportunity to visit the KCS Holiday Train this year in a nearby city. It was chilly, but not unbearable; which was a good thing since we stood in line for over an hour!


This was shortly after we arrived, one of the first pics I took.


Sooo pretty!


It was just me, Riley, Steph & Xander for this holiday event





Lots of pretty lights and decorations!




Riley ran around in the field where the line was the entire time, just playing with other kids in line



Xander joined in as well



Red noses and hair blowing in the wind! Ha ha ha.




Bundled up! Too cute, I love this pic!



In the first car you walk through there is Santa!



Right past Santa the rest of the car is filled with misc. holiday decorations



So much to look at!



Then the 'train car' inside the 'train car'!



They had two or three trains going on this track and one of them was exactly like the train we were in! Riley thought that was AMAZING! He got SOOO excited when he saw engine with face and lights.



He loves train sets





He's looking at a train track that goes under the walkway...




There it goes...




There it is! (you can see his excitement in this picture)






Good shot of the front of the train, with steam and everything!

He loved the happy face in front


We had a great time. The kids had a blast running around in an open feild, Steph and I had a great time talking, as well as playing with the kids, and it was another great holiday memory.

Looks awesome!! Glad you all had such a fun time! I love all the lights on it, how pretty!
We are debating riding the Polar Express Train this year, we can't decide since we did it last year but riding a train, especially at Christmas is such fun! We'll see!
