All Aboard!!!

At the kids' school they have a tradition of putting on the "Polar Express" before Christmas each year for the kindergarteners. It is totally put on by the parents (not the school) and they've been doing it for about 7 or 8 years.  It is a pretty big deal and they put so much work into it each year. We got to use some of the decorations from previous years so that helps. It is a surprise for the kids. They are told to meet in the cafeteria on the special day and wear their jammies. They don't know what's going to happen. When it's time for school to start, one of the teachers reads the Polar Express book to them. Then they are lined up in "trains" and a surprise guest comes in.
There use to be a male teacher who played to train conductor each year, but he's not at the school anymore so they needed a volunteer to wear a suit and come be the conductor for a short time that morning. I thought Brent would be perfect. He's already in a suit every morning, and I thought Rhett would think it was pretty cool for his Dad to be the conductor. (I did check with Brent before I committed him.)

This is when he first came in and announced "All Aboard!!"

Here are the students lined up in their trains with their tickets, ready to go.



The  conductor led them down the hallway to the kindergarten area.

Then he punched their tickets as they entered the room.


That's Thad in the corner. He got to come with me until his school started.


Then the classes took turns going to see Santa.



The rest of the day they played games, did some crafts, then watched the Polar Express movie.
Rhett had a really great time and I think he thought it was pretty neat that his Dad was there.

Great conductor! Brent, you're always a good sport and a great dad! What great fun for the kids and a great idea. I showed our librarian - hint, hint. Do you think she took the hint! love grammy
