Weekend trip..

We took a trip up to the White Mountains this weekend to take the kids to Santa's Village and Storyland!!  The kids had a great time, the weather was great, and we all enjoyed ourselves.

Here is a pic of the little one enjoying himself on a teacup type ride. He loved every minute of it, Daddy's ok on the little spinning rides but not the big ones.. *barf* Well not really , but after riding a different one 3 times in a row , that's what it felt like...

The temperature the first morning started off at a balmy 30 degrees! It felt great, I only wore a light fleece and was perfectly fine, such great crisp air to breathe in..

 Here he kept Santa entertained. He was so excited to see Santa he ran right over to him and practically jumped on his lap. Apparently he wants a truck for Christmas. Me too! Me too! I think mine is a bit out of Santa's price range however.  We always manage to stay up at the Evergreen Motel which is directly across the street from the park. The owners Gordon and Janice are the nicest people you could meet and the rooms are clean and affordable!!!  Make sure you tell them Brian and Michelle said hi , if you go!! 

The next day we were off to Storyland for another LONG day of rides and fun.  Brendon had more energy than all of us combined, no Stroller daddy! I walk. Ok, well he RAN most of the day, we struggled to keep up sometimes, ha ha!!  I love some of the pictures we got of him! This one here is inside of an igloo at Santa's Village, what a ham! He's got the craziest personality at times, a rough and tumble attitude and no fear! None whatsoever!!

Driving Mr. Daddy and Mommy

 Driving a car, had to check on Daddy. It's amazing what kids can do these days, he even got his Storyland driving license :)  Cute.

The food at the parks isn't bad for amusement park food, a little pricey but that's the same anywhere you go. I tried to eat a little bit healthy but that can be difficult at these places, although they do have wraps now!

Riding his first ride alone!

Well not too much else to report we spent the last day going to breakfast at the WaterWheel! If you've never been here before you need to go! On the weekend make sure you get there early though, the waits can be incredible. We went on a Monday morning, no lines!  The food here is great, if you want pancakes be careful , 1 is enough for most, they are plate sized and I mean BIG plate sized!  Trish the owner is a great person, very friendly, on top of things and making sure everybody is having great food and a great time! It's a must to check in here on your way out!

After that we headed down to Jackson, NH to a curios shoppe that I love checking out everytime we go. It's called Ravenwood Curio and they have some of the coolest things in there, I need to take pictures next time. I did pick up a metal cat statue, I'll post later to explain!  After that we headed over to Jackson falls where the kids had fun along the Ellis River and the waterfalls! No swimming though, that water was ICE cold :)
