Stillman Railroad Park

Lately I've been really into finding fun, cheap family activities that we can do for the holidays---and I found Stillman Park! It's this really great area in Scottsdale, AZ that has two trains that ride through light shows, cocoa and snacks, Santa Claus, several parks with toys, miniature trains to admire and more! It was pretty amazing frankly. This was our 2nd attempt because the first time we went the park was so busy we didn't get to go on the train (and Asher was super disappointed).

So, the 2nd time we went we were determined to get on that train! But once we got there (a little later to avoid the crowds) the line was even longer than the first time! Amazing. So, Jase took the first shift of waiting in the line-of-all-lines and I watched the kids at the playground. Then we switched. Once my hot cocoa was gone I got pretty cold...but persevered. The kids kept running back to check on me (probably to make sure I was frozen to death or lost!), but I finally got to the front. Never been so happy in my life :*)
