This post is a little bit photo heavy, but we had so much stuff to take pictures of today! Remember waaaayyyy back in May, when we went to Eureka Springs, and the excursion train was flooded out? Well on that day, GG felt so bad that we couldn’t ride the train, she got right online and ordered tickets to the Snowglobe train in Baldwin. This is a fun train ride, on a vintage train about 30 miles into the country, where they let you off at Santa’s village. There are live reindeer, a petting zoo, hot chocolate, open fires for cooking s’mores, a giant Christmas tree, a big sleigh, some vendors selling Christmas merchandise, and of course the big guy himself is there. Oh and we must mention Christmas music on full blast!
We were pretty excited, Some of us for the Christmas parts, some for the train ride, some for the idea of scoring snacks.
The train was decked out for Christmas. They had karaoke Christmas caroling, where Evie did a fantastic job singing jingle bells! The kids wrote letters to Santa along the way and delivered their letters when they arrived at the village. I feel like this was a pretty cool experience overall, although a tiny bit on the crowded side.
I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen live reindeer before. They are adorable. I sort of wanted to bring them home with me!
On the ride back, Saige and Clayton wanted to ride on the upper deck of the train. Jim indulged them.
Thanks for the really fun afternoon GG! It’s one we won’t ever forget!
Of course, we didn’t have time to cook Sunday dinner, so we had to go try out the New Mexican restaurant in town. It was pretty good! The most amazing thing happened - and I got photographic evidence - Preston ate a taco!
I love a Sunday Funday! I can’t believe Thanksgiving break is over though! What a fast break that was!
