All Aboard The Minivan Express!

I have already admitted that we have gotten a mini van....so when I saw this on Pinterest  I knew I had to do it with the kids! Here is the website where I printed the golden tickets www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com I printed them out at home and then had them laminated at Staples...

We put them in the kids mailboxes that we have inside the house, and when they were all dressed in their pj's they checked their mail, found the tickets, and were given their popcorn for the ride! Daddy was waiting at the mini van with the paper punch to welcome them aboard, as soon as their tickets were punched, they climbed in to listen to Christmas carols and head off to our first stop....

The Burnaby Heritage Museum was a great first stop, the admission is free, and the Heritage Christmas is lovely! We toured the town, visited Father Christmas (which I thought was weird), had a hot chocolate in the cafe and looked at all the beautiful lights! The last stop was a drive along Trinity to see the neighbourhood light displays, this street is famous, each year there is a contest, I think the one house, where we got out to sit in the sleigh, will win for sure!

The kids had to remember their tickets along the way, they needed them to get back on board, so we took photos with them along the way! This was such a fun holiday activity to do with the kids, and they LOVED it!

Merry Christmas!!
