French Lick Water Park and The Polar Express

We spent two days in French Lick during the weekend before Thanksgiving and it was WONDERFUL! We met up with our dearest friends, the Congletons, at Big Splash Adventure Indoor Water Park. Everyone loved being together and the boys spent hours on the slides and in the lazy river. We even got to celebrate Lucas's fifth birthday with a pirate party!

On Saturday night, we rode the Polar Express and it was AMAZING! Preston LOVES trains right now and so he was thrilled to get to ride a REAL train! Also, both of the boys love Santa this year, so getting to meet Santa and receive a special bell was truly magical! We all enjoyed the ride, which  had hot chocolate, cookies, singing and dancing!

"All aboard the Polar Express!"

Evan was sad to leave Levi to go on the Polar Express, but he cheered up within minutes of riding to the North Pole!

Preston was fascinated with the train and enjoyed the slow ride through the train station, where he could see lots of other trains.

It may look like Preston is unhappy, but he was actually really happy and announcing that he was riding a train!

"Look! Hot chocolate!"

"Yummy!"

I was trying to get Preston to smile for a picture and he smiled for me, as I made funny faces. Unfortunately, he was not looking at the camera. He was having fun though!

The elves were so much fun! They boys loved them!

Preston had recently hit his head, so he had his paci for comfort. It doesn't make a great picture, but I love that he is letting the elf hold him. He is beginning to show signs of not being so painfully shy and attached to Mommy! I am so happy for him!

Everyone had fun, including me and Carl.

 

 

Preston showed no fear at the water park! Although he enjoyed going down the slides with his brother or his friends, he was perfectly happy to go down alone too and was ALL SMILES!

 

"Whee!"

At the water park, even snack time is fun!

 Having fun sure is tiring!
