Polar Express 2013

We LOVE going on the POLAR EXPRESS up in Midway (really the Heber Creeper) every year!  This year we were lucky enough to go right after Thanksgiving with LOTS of my family (Lance & his family had already left).  It was a little weird to go so early (day after Thanksgiving) when there was no snow, but that also meant it wasn't as cold.  

We always go on the 5:00 train (the 7:30 is just way to late by the time you get home).  So it was still light when we got there and we had to wait a little bit.

 So what do you do when you have to wait?  Well you have CHICKEN FIGHTS of course!

 The kids all LOVED being together.  This is McKinley (Scott's little girl), Kesley, and Kristen (Mitchell's sister's daughter).
