Benjamin was going to ride on the Polar Express train with the Singers on Friday, 12/12/14. Grandpa Winn and Grandma Laraine had come home to take Ben and Darrin to Durango for the ride. Allyson had gotten tickets for all and Jim and I were going to stay home for the evening...alone! Grandpa Winn got sick and had to go to the Emergency Room so Grandma Laraine asked it I would take Ben and Darrin to the train ride so she could stay at home and take care of Grandpa. So I got to ride the Polar Express Train. We actually had a good time and Ben enjoyed being with the Singers and Darrin. We went to Cortez and ate dinner at the McDonalds, the new one with the computers and games, Darrin had never been there before. Both laughed so hard as they were playing games, it was fun for me to watch. Then we drove to Durango and met up with the Singers for the ride including hot chocolate, chocolate chip cookies and a visit from Santa who delivered each child a bell. We went to the train museum, saw the live reindeer and the model trains. One of the pictures is of Ben, Darrin and Isley all looking in the train workshop. The train workshop, where they fix the trains was one of the most interesting to the boys. We went into the gift shop and Darrin and Ben got a little sack of gold nugget magnets. We told Darrin we would buy them for him as it was his 9th birthday the next day, 12/13/14. Then Ben, Darrin and I went to the McDonalds for an Oreo shake for Darrin, chocolate shake for Ben and nuggets to share! On the drive home I told them the they had to lay down and sleep, Darrin took a nap but Ben never went to sleep. He rode in the front of the truck with me, he is big enough to ride in the front now. Where has my little boy gone...he is growing up too fast!!!! It was a fun evening and I enjoyed watching Ben, Darrin, Isley, Stahli, Quincy, and Adney all love being together. Thanks to Ally and Spencer for all the fun and planning it all! Dad has recovered nicely and will be returning to Mesquite this week!
