Last night, our plans were cancelled and Josh had the night off, which (understatement here) doesn't happen very often. So, I decreed that we would be having some Festive Family Fun. After checking out the website for
Santa's Wonderland, we agreed that we'd rather pay for college (or our utility bill) and decided to visit the I'm-sure-not-as-awesome-but-hey-it's-free Christmas in the Park. We knew from previous experience to get there early so as not to wait in line for the hayride, which was fun. I guess our kids don't spend much time doing fun stuff because they are
so easily impressed. But that's how I like it.
Kellen knew we were at the park and kept wondering when we could go "swing and slide together."
This is as close as we got to Santa. The line was way too long, and Kellen and Bonnie don't know the difference. Luckily the reindeer was bribing with candy so I could get this picture.
And
of course after like 20 minutes of walking around we had to refuel with snacks. The funny part was when Josh gave Kellen a sip of hot chocolate (which wasn't hot). Kellen spit it out like it had arsenic in it. Poor, sheltered children.
Anyway, we had fun. Maybe we'll go to Santa's Wonderland another year.

Wonder how long you'll be able to insulate them from the siren song of Santa & hot chocolate? What a fun evening - I'm suspect you all see Josh so seldom that it was a treat just having him around for the evening!
So fun! We need to check that out. By the way, love the t-shirt from The Office!
I remember when Santa's Wonderland was $5 a car and you could pack in as many as you possibly could! What happened to the good ole days? ha! Im way too young to say that! :)
