This year we were so lucky and got to go to Alamo to their polar express. Emylee got the tickets for us and it was so dang fun! We went with chad and Emylee, her two sisters and Jimmy with all their families. The kids all have a blast together and so us adults get to have even more fun.
They had so many fun things. Wagon rides, horse drawn carriages, an outdoor mini train and a kid train. Navy went on the kid train over and over and over! The wagon ride went around so we could see all of the decorations and lights. The outdoor train showed us all the animals which included a zonkey. Looks like a donkey with zebra pattern on its legs. The ride ended in a fully decorated mini Christmas village tunnel.
They had a whole set up in line for the real train. A house with girls baking cookies. A real snow princess, big snowglobes, elves, and beautiful nativitys, some of which were handmade from other countries. A house made of lollipops, candy canes and plenty of cute picture opportunities. They had a grinch and cat in the hat too. Then you go through a house where each room is decked out. You get your golden ticket at the window then get to see the train cars. While you wait to load they have a big outdoor screen playing the movie Polar express.
Once on the train the conductor took tickets and he looked perfect! Out the window we saw different movie sets from Home alone and polar express. They had theland of misfit toys and the elf village. Then we got to see Santa's home where even Buddy the elf was. Santa and Mrs. Clause got on the train and gave each kid a present. We got to take pictures and sing. The whole ride was a perfect experience. We sang really loud and had lots of fun. The end had a live donkey with Mary and ended at a scene with a beautiful live Nativity.
They also fed us dinner and had free not cocoa stands everywhere.it was freezing so we all drank up. What a wonderful night! Thank you Emylee!
