Trains and Scrooge

One morning we met our friends Chelsey and Elliott at North Park Mall for some holiday activities. We started by checking out the train exhibit. Of course Anson was in heaven, but all the kids thought it was pretty cool. This is the most elaborate toy train exhibit in Texas. The exhibit features more than 40 vintage locomotives chugging along 2,500 feet of track on a magical journey across America. The trains wind through captivating scenes and national landmarks including Washington Monument, the White House, Golden Gate Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Times Square and more. Then we headed over to see Scrooge, the puppet, perform. It was not at all what we were expecting, but it still kept the little ones attention. Scrooge playfully interacted with passing shoppers and members of the audience, but mainly was quite grumpy. I think this confused Genevieve since I had told her the story of Scrooge and The Christmas Carol before going to the show. Overall though we had a delightful time celebrating the holidays with our friends.
