New England Trip 2010: Santa's Village

On our second day in New England, we visited Santa's Village, just like last summer. I still think it has got to be one of the cutest theme parks for kids! I absolutely adore all the cozy cottage-like buildings, and the flowers are gorgeous. Whitley was a perfect age for it this summer; she rode all of the kiddie rides! She was also super excited to be exploring the park with her older cousins. You could tell she really thought she was something, running with the big kids! Of course, we really big kids had a wonderful time, as well. I rode a few things myself. :)
Whitley and Mychaela hang out by a penguin while waiting for Grammy to get the tickets. I thought the penguin was so cute; I didn't realize these were the trash cans!
(Thanks for treating, Grammy and Papa!)
Tom and Mike were the first to hit a ride- the Yule Log!

Taking a spin on the Drummer Boy.

The girls ride the reindeer swings, while Liam chose to be in the middle.

Some actual reindeer. I don't have a picture of Whitley with them because she kept her distance, despite her fascination with them and her insistence, "I'm not scared!" I would guess otherwise.

I couldn't believe Whitley wanted to ride this one. It was one of those boats that swung all around!
Possible Watson Family Christmas photo? They are actually all together and looking at the camera!
The New York Watsons were pumped about the gingerbread cookies!
And Whitley had no trouble putting down two herself!
Oh no! We ate so many cookies that we transformed into a gingerbread family! (This wasn't a difficult photo to get at all, by the way. HA!)
I asked Scott to get Whitley to smile (because he is quite good at it), and he made a bunch of funny faces. Well, Whitley started making the faces right back at him. :)
