Polar Express 2011

The whole Ryba clan went on the Polar Express to get into the Christmas spirit.  As nervous as Gramma was about how it would turn out, it was such a fun and wonderful experience!  All the kids and ALL the parents enjoyed such a fun trip to the North Pole and back getting the hear the story of the Polar Express and enjoy a visit with Santa.

Love this picture!

Santa looked very intriguing from afar

...not so much up close....

Now at a safe distance away, Daniel waves and points to Santa

The attempt at a picture with Santa

"I believe!"

Ahhh, juice and cookies!

Such a fun afternoon, and a great way to get into the Christmas spirit!  We will definitely ride the Polar Express again next year!
