Polar Express

The main event was the Polar Express train!  We'd scored free tickets for an article I'd written about them in the Elko paper.  I thought it was more for my benefit, but Charley LOVED IT!

 Arriving at the North Pole - look, it's Santa!

 Momentary look of panic

 Watching him go

 And, now she likes him!

 Santa's "baby" (aka elf) gave her a bell

 Sad to see him go

 Bye North Pole!
