The Christmas Train

Our family went to visit The Christmas Train at Dry Gulch last weekend. It was the perfect evening to spend outdoors with the ones you love.

We first waited in line to ride the train. It was a long line, but moved very quickly. We were able to view the train as we waited, which kept the girls occupied.
Next, we received our boarding passes and waited inside the depot (big, yellow station, as Abigail and Emily call it) for our turn to board.

Once on the train, the girls were excited to get going.

We watched the amazing story of creation and the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They had beautiful billboards, live scenes, and narration depicting the story throughout the ride. The girls were very interesting in watching it all unfold.

Next, we rode the carousel, took a horse drawn wagon ride through the story "T'was the Night Before Christmas, played on the play ground, and walked around the town.

By the end of the night, the girls were too exhausted to walk back to the car, so Daddy carried our two 37 pound daughters through the parking lot.
