North Pole

We were looking for something Christmasy to do with the kids this last weekend. After doing some research, we decided upon Santa's Workshop in North Pole, CO. This place is about 30 minutes from us. It's basically just a North Pole themed amuzement park. They all sorts of little rides as well as shops. They also have a post office. A few of you will be getting post cards from us. Be sure to look at the postage stamp. Your kids will find this very cool.

We all had a great time. Luckily the weather was in the 50's so we didn't get too cold. We did not visit with Santa in his house. The line was entirely too long. We were not up for that. The kids had a lot of fun though. Caleb did not like the roller coaster. It was the only ride he cried on. Campbell did not like the space shuttle ride. She almost cried on that one.

We spent nearly 4 hours at the park. Caleb was so exhausted. We barely go in the car before he was asleep. We followed the park excursion with a nice lunch in Manitou Springs. Caleb did not wake up for lunch. He slept through the shift from car to stroller and the entire lunch.

That night we sent Campbell to the Tween Night over at the Y. This is the first time that she has gone. She had a blast and requested to go again. They have the night twice per month. We will probably send her once per month. We may also try out the Parents Night Out. Caleb is old enough and potty trained. Aaron and I might actually get a dinner by ourselves once a month.
