The Polar Express

My little red-nosed DEARS
Initially Excited on the Train!
Just found out we're not actually going to the North Pole!!

My sweet little girls... the still "believe" in the magic of it all! They truly thought we were really going to the north pole (just like on the Polar Express movie) when we went on the "North Pole Express" (aka the Tarantula Train in Grapevine). Madison even said she didn't want to have to get out and get on the top of train if sister lost her ticket! Things were going really well until the train stopped.... starting going backwards toward the station.... and they put it all together! They were soooooo upset! Especially Madison! She was heartbroken AND angry! We got lectured all the way home!!! "Mommy! Why do grown ups tell children things that aren't true just to make them happy!!? Cause when we find out they're not true, we're NOT happy!!!" Good point!!
