The Polar Express

One weekend in November, we met up with our great friends the McGranahans and the Clarkes for a trip to French Lick, Indiana.  We headed down there to stay in a water park resort (we neglected to take any photos in the water park but had an AMAZING time--North loved the water slides and whirlpool pool while Quorra really liked the lazy river) and to go on a Polar Express train ride.  It was incredible--definitely on my wish list for future holiday seasons as well.

 Mexican dinner before our train ride! Obviously North wasn't excited at all.

 Quorra enjoyed watching North, Mila, Lincoln preparing for the train ride

 

Writing letters to Santa to drop off at the North Pole.  North asked Santa for Hulk Hands.  He's been pretty great this year so I suspect Santa will come through.

 In our room, North and Quorra had their own nook.  Complete with a bunk bed for them to sleep in.

 

 

After breakfast the kiddos enjoyed a ride on a luggage rack.

We took a lunch break from the water park and enjoyed walking around French Lick Resort.  Alan used to work for them--it was great to see and hear him speak about.

 While exploring the grounds he found a fun leaf.

 North, Mila, and Lincoln enjoyed jumping around the porch

 

 

 

 

 

It was an amazing weekend trip.
