Santa

About 30 minutes from out home is a Farm Park attraction that has a small old fashioned town with a steam train that travels around the little Farm Park. About a 30 minute ride. We took Sky last night. The train was covered in Christmas Lights and the whole little Farm Park had lights and Christmas Carols and Hay rides and Train rides. It was chilly out, about 35 degrees, so lots of hot chocolate was served, along with Gingerbread men. It was a fun time and Sky had a blast. Not too crowded, so very short lines, which is always better with a child. The jolly old elf himself comes down from the North Pole each Saturday night for this event. He said his reindeer were in the forest behind the Farm Park where they could graze while he greeted the children. The Farm Park sets up a special little log cabin for Santa so he will stay warm and the children can have their picture made with him without coats. Mrs. Claus came with him this year and she was wonderful. The Farm Park sets up a really beautiful Christmas Tree for Santa. It was a fun night. We rode the train, had gingerbread, looked at the beautiful lights and listened to carols. Oh and there was a small petting zoo with a donkey and goats and sheep. That was one of my favorite parts. Santa was really wonderful. Really!!!!  Along the train ride were elves, Christmas lights, and one part where the train stopped and you can here the Christmas Story. Fun for not too much money. Sky had a blast and I must admit, I had fun too. Dress for cold weather because most of the fun is outside, but so worth it. Christmas is about children and this one was so much fun and Sky had a great time. Merry Christmas.
