If you have kids visiting for the holidays and need a fun FREE way to entertain them for an afternoon, our littlest MinM contributors give a ride around The Woodlands Waterway on the trolley 4 BIG thumbs up 

I honestly had no idea they would have this much fun just wandering around the woodlands! After a stroll through Market Street with some kids' hot chocolates and a run around the big Christmas tree, we hopped on the trolley here https://goo.gl/maps/5oQVvgF9QmnGoLsG7

As soon as we saw the water we disembarked to look for fishes and wonder at the bridges, then popped back on to ride until the kids saw the fountains at Waterway Square. I gave them free range and just followed along doing my favorite thing, snapping photos for you guys!  

Tack this on to a couple hours at the ice rink (just across from the trolley stop I linked above), dinner at Grotto, and a peek at Market Street all lit up for Christmas at night, and you have yourselves what my kids (who've been all over the world) called "the best day ever."
