Santa's Village

Cousins came to visit all the way from the West Coast soon after the play house was completed, and we spent as much time as we could visiting with them.

L was awesome holding C.

Not to mention adorable.

One day they all came down to The North Pole or Santa's Village and we met them there for possibly Korrali's most mind-blowingly awesome adventure ever. It's a Christmas-themed roller coaster park where the minimum clearance is 32 in on most rides. Meaning that most kids 2.5 and up can ride most rides ALL BY THEMSELVES.

She did everything she had time for. I won't post pictures of her on everything, because there were at least 20 rides and ride-face gets old after far fewer than that.

We arrived. It's up in the mountains.

This one went in fast circles.

Sky ride. Much needed after the circley one.

Santa.

Train ride

C fell right to sleep

K was still jazzed to be there

And loving the carousel

Ferris wheel for kids only

A ride that kind of drops you, kind of bounces you.

Can you feel the sass? I think L is one of her favorite playmates, since she was 18 mo and met him for the first time.

Reindeer! What fun to feed them.

The pole is icy!

And Santa's slide. Its 2 stories tall. Sweet ride.

She cried when it was time to leave. And tried to trick us into staying. Five minutes in to the ride home she was out.

I feel like as I've gotten older my own enjoyment when I'm with children is 90% based off of whether they are having fun also. Since C doesn't eat in public much ( we still try anyway ) and doesn't like to sleep unless she is at home, all-day excursions always make me nervous. This one was worth it! We all had so much fun. Best of all, it was with grandparents and cousins to keep the excitement and fun going strong.
