Polar Express

I was so glad we went and did the Polar Express this year because as much as I hate to say it, I think this is the last year he'll think it's the real deal. The unfortunate part this year was that they didn't have snow! Yikes! Thankfully the hot chocolate chef on the train told Dominic that because they had so many requests for surfboards this year, Santa pulled in the snow until they were all tested. He enjoyed the train ride a lot and was very excited!

When we got off the train he told Papa "Those aren't elves, those are just people in costume." Papa froze but attempted to recover quickly. "Why do you say that?" Dominic said that the elves were too big to be real elves. We told him that Santa needed some big elves to help with the sleigh and reindeer and greet visitors. The tiny elves were too busy making toys to come out and see us. Thankfully Santa was so obviously the real deal that Dominic accepted it was the real Santa.

While we were in NH we went snow tubing as well and Dominic was thrilled! He took off with Papa as soon as we got outside and he was quite the daredevil on the slopes getting as many slides in as he could. It was such a great trip and as always they loved having adjoining rooms with Gee and Papa.
