I had heard how beautiful the Santa set-up was, so I thought Elsie Anne HAD TO BE THERE!!! It was 'Polar Express' themed + had amazing life-size snow globes!! We waited in line for 2hrs before getting to see the sweetest + most realistic Santa ever! I really thought Elsie Anne would do just fine sitting on his lap... but right as her bottom touched, she waaaailed like no other:( Santa had a great idea + let us sit in the sleigh w/ EA + he stood up behind us! The pic turned out super cute... I'll have to scan it to get it on here!
Then, off to the Denver Zoo we went!!! The traffic was insane + once we finally got to the parking lot, we drove around for almost an hour looking for a spot. We passed the ticket area @ one point + saw thousands of families waiting in line!! So... we called it off:( We were bummed, but decided we'll go after Xmas while my mom is here!
We weren't ready to go home yet so we decided to make a detour to BASS PRO-SHOP, OUTDOOR WORLD... and it was THE BEST DECISION we made all day:) We ended up getting to make our own 'Zoo Lights' b/c the store was all lit up + decorated, and had plenty of animals to gawk at!!! The entire boat area was cleared out + transformed into Santa's Workshop that had tons of kids activities + decorated to the hilt! I think next year we will be going here for EA's Santa pic:)
Enjoy the slide show I put together of our 'Merry' Christmas day in Denver...
so so jealous! Kent would have died and gone to heaven! He loves the Polar Express! I love EA's dress! So glad you all had a blast! What a neat place!!
