What a fun afternoon we had yesterday! We picked up Jimmy and Gracie around lunchtime and then met Johnny and Erin and Lucy, Richie, and Jesse at the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum to take a ride on the Santa train. It was the same route we took for the pumpkin train in October, but this time the train stopped along the way to pick up Santa, who started at one end of the car and worked his way up to the other end, sitting down in each row to talk to the kids about what they want for Christmas. So nice to have such personalized attention and not have to wait in line -- we just hung out and enjoyed our train ride while we waited for him to get to us. Seriously, that's the way to do it. (Can you tell that I'm definitely not one to wait in line to see Santa? It's like my nightmare or something.)
As a bonus, there were coupons on the back of each ticket for a free doughnut at Fingerhut bakery, so we stopped there before heading home. Delicious!
I'm also happy to report that Henry was much nicer than last time he saw the "other" Forts, which was a huge relief. I hit the dollar store early in the morning and packed a bag with little activities and snacks to keep him entertained, but he hardly played with any of them. Of course, once we got home, he dug right in and used up all the supplies in the whole bag, so next time I'll have to start over again. But he was VERY entertained all afternoon and evening!
