Train Ride with Santa

We started off Christmas time with Nana treating us on a special train ride!  We were all excited about going since Callie really loves trains, and plus it was a great new adventure for all of us to go on.  It started out great, the girls loved looking out the window.

We then started to move and Callie was just so excited.  It’s funny how excited she got for us only going at most 10mph

Then, a few minutes into the ride, Santa came!

He stopped by our table, however Callie was less than excited to get that close that soon with the jolly old man…

Chloe was cautiously accepting of him

But hugs and kisses from Nana brought Callie back to enjoying it again!

The ride was great up until this point, then Chloe hit total. meltdown. mode.  I mean, screaming crying, nothing was going to solve it.  Thankfully I was able to walk to another cabin so we wouldn’t ruin the ride for everyone else.  But we weren’t even halfway through the ride and there was no getting off.  After about 45 minutes we pulled back into the station and could exit.  You wouldn’t believe it, she stopped immediately as we walked off the train, acting like nothing was the matter.  Chloe was happy as can be in the car ride back and even while we ate lunch.  No clue what caused it, but lets just say we won’t be riding any trains with her anytime soon.  While it was a great idea in theory, and enjoyable for a little while, it probably was the last time we did that excursion!
