Voted one of the top ten spots for visiting with Santa by USA Today--us parental units took the kiddies last night. Ironically enough we did almost everything there BUT sit on Santa's lap--seen one Santa you've seen them all...phf. An hour after we arrived Jack asked when the "excitement" begins. Here is Daddy and Jack.
Getting ready to watch the elves sing about Santa's sleigh ride around the world. They committed a grievous act...handed Maracas out to kids to play with and Jack was not one of those kids. Jack had that lip out any longer I was sure a bird would fly by and poop on it.
Consolation prize to the Maracas was a $10 light sword...think the elves and the sword vendor were in on some secret plot together to rob us of our hot chocolate money. The sword was the highlight of the evening for Jack. At least it was not a box :)
We asked Jack to rank the events in order of excitement. The events to rank included Elves Santa Play, Christmas Musical Revue, Santa Parade, Picture with Mrs. Clause, and the Polar Express 4D Movie. He ranked Ms. Clause #1, the sword #2, and the out-of-left field #3 ranking was Toy Story 3 Together Again.
Wondering about Bronnie? She was thrilled with the 10,000 and some Christmas Lights and LOVED the Musical Revues. A total entertainment junkie for sure .
Her only cranky moment was when they turned the lights out before the Polar Express movie began. Here she is reliving the cranky moment.
The evening ended with a visit by the Snow Angel who dumped snow on us all by evoking Tinker Bell style magic via the group chant, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." I caught Jack drifting to sleep on the ride home chanting those magic words trying to make it snow some more. HA!
