"Who hears these words of mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine & does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

Snowflake Express

We rode the Snowflake express again this year the first weekend in December.  This is the second year we went on it, and the kids were really excited to "ride the train" again!  Last year it left north of town and went north.  This year it left from Waterloo and went south.  Last year we rode the last time available, and it was so dark we couldn't see anything, so this year we decided to go at the 12:00 time.  Erik's parents, my parents, and my brother, Ben, were able to join us on the ride, so it was fun to have everyone along with us.  Kyler and Norah were so excited when Santa and Mrs. Claus came through, but Grace wasn't quite sure what to think. :) They were also looking forward to the bell that they would receive just like in the Polar Express book.  We all had a great time and look forward to doing it again!
