The North Pole

This past Tuesday, we made a trip to the North Pole...sans snow, but Santa was indeed there. We've certainly grown to love this place over the past few years, and this trip was no exception. It was a first though, in that we got to spend our time there with D's school friends, which was fabulous! Here are the pics...

...P ready to roll!

D, S and L...ready!

S and D enjoyed a few spins in the rockets! Note the flaming rocket, carefully selected by the boys :).

As did P!

Boat rides for J, D and S!

Also for L, S and P!

Giddyup!

Ladybug ladies

Ladybug dudes :)

Mommy and P :)

Face-painting! Another first for the NP.

LOL!

More rockets! Only these had guns :).

Peppermint slide-rs!

Not-sure-what-they-are riders :).

What a wonderful day! Our departure was marred by a temper-tantruming-exhausted-screaming-P :(, but I should've expected that she would get a tad upset when she couldn't ride something ALONE that her brother could *ahem*. Oh well, soon enough :). They both slept on the way home...aka a FUN time was had!
