The kids ready to board the Christmas Train









Yesterday we took the kids and went on the Alaska Colony Christmas Train. We got aboard the Alaska Railroad and took the train from Anchorage to Palmer which is about an hour drive away. It took 2 hours to get there by train though. Once a bord the train the kids were given some coloring pages to color and had cookies and hot chocolate. The highlight of the trip was a visit on the train by Santa and Mrs. Claus. The kids friends Bella, Nicholas, Alexander, Kendall, and Conner were also all there with their families. Daniel and Hailey hung out most of the ride with Bella and Nicholas. The scenic view was very pretty seeing all the snow on the trees. Definitly the total oposite of the view we saw last time we took the train to whittier in the summer. The train actually went right through the air force base which the kids thought that was pretty cool. Once we got to Palmer we went to the colony Christmas festival there. It was very cold yesterday so we didnt stay at the festival long cause it was mostly outside. It was -6 below zero yesterday. The kids were bundled up in snowsuits but it was still very cold. They did get to see santa's sleigh and 2 of his reindeers. Ruldolph and Vixen were both there and the kids got to pet and feed them. The kids had a very good day and are looking forward to riding on the train again this summer.

Cute pictures Lory! I love seeing Alaskas' scenery and all that snow! I can't believe how cold it is for you already. I guess I shouldn't complain about our temps in the 20s. Love the pictures of the reindeer, how neat for Daniel and Hailey!
