Ho Ho Ho!

This past weekend, we went to Santa's Village.

Northern New Hampshire grows theme parks like Idaho grows potatoes. Seriously, you find them all over the place. But Santa's Village is the one with Santa. Santa!
I come to these places prepared. We had sunscreen, hats, snacks, and a change of clothes for after the Ho Ho H2O section of the park, which was the water park. We had such a good time! The boys got to ride the flume, the peppermint twist, and Andy all but threw himself in front of the train that rode around the park. The kids got to the water, and even though it was overcast and cooler, they splashed and rolled around and Andy screamed and cried when I made him come out because his lips were blue.

About five minutes after we changed into dry clothes, it started raining. And I don't mean a harmless sprinkle. I mean the gates of heaven opened up and buckets of water poured out of the sky. The wind whipped the drops sideways. And we all got soaked, including my cell phone which no longer works. That was when we called it a day. It stopped raining a few minutes after we left, but not before Andy and Nate passed out in the car.

We all had a really great time, though. Even Nick. He's lying in this photo.
