Christmas Train

Yesterday we road the Christmas train while Rachel was getting a CT scan. Yes, it is really true.

Yesterday morning Rachel started having double vision and vertigo. I took her to see the doctor. The doctor ordered a CT scan and blood work. Doing all that took from about 1pm until 8pm.

The Halls watched our kids most of the day. Around 5:30pm they (the Halls) also fed us dinner (lasagna - my favorite!) while Rachel awaited her CT scan in the hospital. About 6:15pm she finally went back for the CT scan. I took the kids and went to Walmart to pick up Rachel's meds then decided that who knows how long the CT scan would take so I took the kids to ride the Christmas train since I had a ticket for our family that was good for only that day.

Unfortunately Rachel was done only after we were in line for some 5 minutes waiting for the train. So she had to wait almost an hour for us to pick her up. However, the kids did have a GREAT time riding the train.

These are some amazing small-scale size trains.  I guess we really do live in a town of engineers!



We had to wait in line for about 30 minute to ride.





And here we are on the train!  The kids loved it, including Henry!!



The train ride lasted about 20 minutes I would guess.  Pretty cool for being free!

After the train ride we saw Santa.  I think Emma was most excited to see him, as you can tell from the look on her face!



The other kids also enjoyed meeting with Santa.  MO told Santa he wanted Wipe Out Wii game.  Emma said she wanted American Doll stuff and Mario Party 8 for the Wii and a pillow pet.
