Christmas train

December 22nd, 2007. Part two of my holiday blogging catch-up...

Right before Christmas we took the kids for a ride on the Christmas train where they got to meet Santa, listen to holiday songs, got candy and got to ride on a real train. Ivor's Canadian friend Daniel and his parents joined us. Kids loved the experience because of Santa, candy and an hour long train ride. We loved it because it was a low hassle parenting experience -- we stayed warm, didn't have to walk far nor carry heavy children, didn't have to worry about kids running off somewhere, getting in trouble, getting kidnapped or hurt. It was a win-win situation for all involved. Even Santa as he got paid to be there and McDonald's for sponsoring the event. As if we don't go there enough already. :)
