The Polar express (AZ style)

When Cassie & Tip came to Mesa before Christmas we decided to take the kids to McCormick ranch to ride the train. It was supposed to be pretty magical and awesome! There was a 20% chance of rain but because we live in Mesa and 20% usually means no chance in heck we chanced it. After standing in a line that would put Disney Land's wait to shame we were able to ride the train for half price (we discovered it was half price when we got to the end of the line-after we had already bought all of our tickets). It was marked down because they were having some technical difficulties with there lights (they were not lighting). We were soaked (did I mention that we forgot a jacket for Asher) and unimpressed but the kids didn't seem to mind or even notice and I think we could say it was a success (as far as a great photo op and story goes).
