For the first year, it was pretty good! The train itself was cool, and they had a lot of neat light displays along the route. The only problem was that there was a long wait to get on the train. The tickets were "general admission" and the train left every half hour. I think we waited at least an hour, which of course is hard with little ones! James was ready to fall asleep by the end of the ride. (There was a live nativity and a big screen showing a Charlie Brown Christmas, but not much else to do during the wait -- besides run around in the fields, which lots of kids were doing.) Hopefully they'll do timed tickets in the future!

The Christmas Express
Before we went to Colorado, we went to the Christmas Express in Williston. It's a new event. The family actually found this historic train engine in the woods and restored it, and they're trying to develop their farm as an educational farm/youth ministry.
