Boise Adventures

This year was our turn to spend Christmas with Jake's family in Boise. We were able to spend over 2 weeks there and it was wonderful. We went on some fun adventures.

A couple of days after we got there we went on a train ride up to the North Pole to see Santa. Mimi rented out the caboose for the whole family. It was such a luxurious train ride! Leather seats and couches as well as an attendant who made us hot chocolate and provided snacks. Mimi had a friend make some incredible frosted Christmas cookies that were the perfect little treat for the ride.

They had a stage with hula hoops for kids the play with. Don't ask me how that relates to Santa and the North Pole....
The hay maze was an interesting addition to the North Pole as well....But Hannah enjoyed it.

We had so much fun on the train ride to the North Pole, thanks Mimi and Papa!

Another fun adventure we had was going to see the Christmas lights at the Boise Botanical Gardens. There were lights everywhere, it was so beautiful! When you walk in the path was lined with trees that were decorated with these beautiful flower lights pictured below.

See, told you he was there :-)
