North Pole, Colorado

 A little earlier in the month, we had the chance to go with Jonas' preschool class to Santa's Workshop in North Pole, Colorado (at the base of Pikes Peak).  We drove by it when we went to Pike's Peak earlier in the summer, but admission was pretty pricey (for a glorified carnival).  However, Jonas' class (and families!) got free admission so we definitely took advantage of that!  (We even took Ezra out of school for the day, hee, hee.)
 
This was the little train around the park.  We got to have a closer look at the reindeer pens.
 

 
Mike and Judith on the sky ride.  I was in another car with the boys.

 
The kids visiting Santa (he was a really nice one!)

 
Me and Judith riding the cars.

Ezra on one of the rides.
 
As you can tell by the blue sky, the weather was PERFECT!

 
Yes, Ezra's licking that pole.  Gross!  In his defense, his Dad told him to.  Not sure why this was the time he chose to listen...  :/

 
The kids watching a singing (mechanized) elf. 

 
Jonas going down the super fun slide.  You climb the stairs to the top of the candy cane and then sit on a burlap sack that carries you down the slide to the bottom.  (See video at the end.)

 
Me and Judith. 

 
Mike and the boys on the ferris wheel.

 
Ezra riding a merry-go-round car.

 
What a little mischief maker!
