Polar Express


A few months ago at Jason's company party we won tickets on the Heber Creeper for our family. We were able to chose what time we would like to go so we thought it would be fun to go on the Polar Express. So last Tuesday after Jason got off work we met him at the mouth of Provo Canyon and headed up. Luckily it was in between storms so the roads were not too bad. We thought it would be fun to take the kids in their Christmas Pajamas so before we left I got Kennidee and Kyson in theirs. We left with plenty of time to have dinner at Dairy Keen in Heber. Well I was not that impressed with it. But when we were getting ready to head to the Heber Creeper I could smell something and so I checked Kyson's diaper. Well lucky for us he had exploded up his back then when he stood it went right down his leg (Isn't he a little old for this)? So of course I was not prepared and had no other clothes for him. So I took him to the bathroom for a baby wipe bath. We then headed out the door with Kyson in a coat and nothing else. At least we had a blanket. Talk about horrible timing. Of course we had to be in Heber for this to happen where there is no Walmart, Target or anything for that matter. How in the world do people even live there? How do they survive? So we found this ghetto store called Kings and luckily they had some cheap pajamas that served their purpose for the night. We then headed to the Heber Creeper. While on the train they served hot cocoa and cookies and read the Polar Express. Mrs. Claus came around and then Santa came around and gave all the kids bells. It was so fun and the kids loved it. I hope that we are able to do it again sometime.

We went last year and really want to go again! It is so fun! Your story about Kyson and not being near any "real" stores reminded me of living in Idaho...it is like that everywhere. I am glad you guys had fun!

I guess we are going to have to start packing an extra change of clothes around Christmas. LOL
