North Pole Experience

This year we surprised the girls with a trip to the North POLE!!  On Friday, December 7th we along with 50 of our friends and family headed to Flagstaff to do the North Pole Experience.  It was a lot of fun and very different from the Polar Express train ride in Williams. Not that that isn't fun, its just different.  Anyway, had a great trip and made lots of memories and of course took tons of pictures.  Enjoy!

 We took lots of pictures before we boarded our Magical Trolley

 We left Flagstaff on our magical trolley and drove into the forest, there we were transported to the North Pole by going through a Magic Portal.

 Everyone had to sing as loud as they could with their eyes closed as we were transported.

 We arrived at the North POLE!!  Yes this was our whole group, 50 of us.  =)

 First stop was the toy hall of fame, toys from past and present on display, it was pretty cool.

 Then we were off to make toys with the elves for all the other boys and girls who weren't able to go to the North Pole.  This was the highlight for all the kids.

 Kids of all ages and sizes especially loved building and testing the rockets.  =)

 Then we made a stop into the gift wrap department before heading to the Bakery for Snowman Soup (Hot Coco) and Cookies.

 We ate cookies, drank snowman soup and sang Christmas songs.

 Next stop - EU - Elf University, where the kids learned about manners and to be respectful, etc.

 Then we went to the mail room where we got to write Christmas lists for Santa.

 Lots of fun was had, yes this is Dan dancing with an Elf...but wait till you see the next picture...

this is who he gets his moves from, his DAD!  Also dancing with an Elf.  =)

We got to take a tour of Santa's sleigh.

 Before getting to meet the old guy himself.

 Then we loaded back on to our magical trolley to take us back to flagstaff.

 Once back in Flagstaff the children enjoyed a story read by Mrs. Clause

 All the kids got these yummy chocolate suckers

Then we all went to dinner.  My cousin Kristina and Mark met us there, it was so good to see them.  We had a great trip and definitely recommend you looking into a trip to the North Pole next year.  =)
