Well we headed out today after breakfast. We were headed to the Cog Railroad but once we arrived there and found out there was going to be thunderstorms on the mountain at a temperature of 50 degrees and we were dressed in shorts we decided to change our plans. Much to Mikayla's excitement we decided to head to the North Pole to visit Santa at Santa's Village.
We were greeted by Rudolph that had a lovely conversation with us. Next we took the railroad around the park. Next we headed to the Little Elf's home. Next stop were the Antique Cars that even go through a car wash. We sat down to watch a show but it was cancelled since it was starting to sprinkle :(
Next we stopped at this booth with this cute little old man. He made each one of us a ring made from a nail. He picked on Mikayla and then told Kathy she had a beautiful smile. Kathy loved him. Next we went to visit the MAN himself. That's right we went into Santa's house and the kids had a picture taken with him (Mimi was so excited!)
Next we walked over to see the Nativity scene and then Grandma and Zack went on the SS Peppermint Twist.
Next stop was to feed all of Santa's reindeers. Next we headed into the theater to watch the Christmas the almost wasn't. Next we went on the Great Humbug ride where we were each given a laser to shoot the humbugs! We headed back to the car to eat lunch. We headed back into the park for a 3D movie Tink's adventure. Zack was waiting all day to go on the Sleigh Monorail where we headed next. Zack was leading the way he totally enjoyed the park. After sailing around the park in Santa's sleigh we headed to the Little Drummer Boy Ride which is basically the teacups. The kids were spinning their's so fast everyone was watching them - while Zachary was laughing his butt off. We ended our visit to the Himalaya and the bumper cars.
Now today's question is - it rained while we were at the park - How much were the rain ponchos we got today?
We decided to head to dinner at a restaurant we had a certificate from Restuarant.com - Rosa Flaminga. We had 2 certificates so we had to eat separately and pretend we didn't know each other. Because we had the certificates we had so much food we ended up having some for breakfast and lunch the next day!
We headed back to the campground. It was a lot of driving today but we had a great time. Sorry we didn't get the blog done. See you soon.
