I am rewinding to a couple months ago to recap our first trip to Santa's Village...We left just after Kelsi's 3rd birthday and drove the 4 hours to get to Santa's Village...That is a whole story in and of itself! Kelsi isn't great in the car for longer than 30-45minutes, and sometimes that can even be pushing it....So lets just say it was a LONG drive of whining and thrashing in her seat!!
Once we arrived, we headed straight to Santa's Village to take advantage of the late entrance package...arrive after 3pm and your next day ticket is included! This post is a recap of the first day...We were able to zoom around majority of the park without any lines!
We started on the sleighs and then jumped on the tea cups...without Dada of course!
Our next stop was the bumper cars....Dada's suggestion because he can actually go on them!

I just love this picture of Tyler checking out the ferris wheel...it was the first time that we all went on one!
This was...."Kiss Dada"...she smooshed her cheek at him and pushed her own face...
Ferris wheel time...I rode with Kelsi and I am not a fan of heights...I spent the whole time telling her to sit still...she kept making me nervous when she would lean forward or to the side!
Tyler was able to go on this ride by himself...he was so proud...
This was my favorite ride and the kids loved it too...We probably went on it 4 or 5 times over the 2 days! They would put their hands up in the air by day 2~
They learned to put their hands up because Douglas taught Tyler to do it on the roller coaster....Tyler LOVED the roller coaster....He went on a couple of times the first day and a couple more the second day...It was so rickety that it scared Kelsi after her first time on it, but she jumped right back on it the next day and even did it a couple times with her hands up!
This is what Kelsi was doing while we waited for Dada and Tyler to get off the coaster...
THIS is the face that Kelsi started right after her 3rd birthday and is STILL doing on a daily basis....It is definitely the "Terrible 3's" for her instead of the "Terrible 2's"....She is fiercely independent and often says, "Get away from me"....I am hoping that she starts to be a better listener soon and comes out of this "attitude phase"....
"Innocent face" Kelsi just a second later...
They loved the water game and each won a prize...
Tyler grabbed the elf's nose....
so Kelsi did too....of course!
That wrapped up the first day....We ate dinner at our hotel/motel and then all went to bed around 7:30pm...I had hoped to catch up on some sleep, but sleeping all in one room makes it tricky!! Everyone was up before dawn!!
More pictures to come from Day 2~
