Christmas Train
















On Sunday night, we went with our church group to ride a Christmas train about an hour away. The weather was nice when we left, but we had all heard the reports that the cold front was on its way. Luckily, we all dressed in bundles and layers because it had dropped 30 degrees by the time we arrived. It was 25 degreees, with a wind chill of -2!!! Still, the Christmas train was wonderful. Despite waiting outside in the freezing weather to ride the train, our big group of 18 had lots of fun. On the train, we heard the Christmas story of Jesus's birth, life, death, and resurrection. After our train ride, we all enjoyed a steamy cup of hot chocolate and headed home. There was more to see and do, but it was just too cold. On our trip home, it began to sleet and what was an hour's drive became 2. I definitely want to go again next year (on a warmer day!) and experience it all!
