The Santa Train

We ventured out in the freezing weather Saturday morning with Grandma to ride the Santa Train in North Bend. We bundled up, thinking we would need to just make it from the car to the train in the wind and snow, and then we could warm up......that wasn't exactly the way the morning went.... The train didn't have heat! The "refreshment car" when we got to the train depot in Snoqualmie didn't have heat either (although it did have hot chocolate and cookies). The line that we waited in to have our visit with Santa didn't have heat either. Then we had another 30 minutes to wait for the train to come back and pick us up for our cold ride back to the car. It was a morning of adventure, but I don't know that we will be making this a yearly tradition!

Hannah only had rain boots covering her socks, so we tried to warm up her feet with Daddy's gloves!
The girls enjoyed the hot cocoa and warmed up a little bit in the shelter of the train car.

It was truly a north pole experience!

We did the exact same thing and absolutely froze! We one upped you though in that we thought the train started in Snoqualmie (because Thomas the train did) and didn't realize that we were in the wrong place till the last minute. We got to due the train the wrong way!
