At the nearby park they had a special “Winter Wonderland” party. It was super fun. We were able to meet up with some friends from our ward that I had mentioned it to so it was fun to walk around with them. Christian was really excited to sit on Santa’s lap and tell him (not too quietly) that he wants a Teddy Bear for Christmas! I’m sure Santa wishes all of his orders could be so simple. Christian has lots of plush toys from monkeys to penguins but he only has one little teddy bear he got from his great aunt Melody when he was born. I think he wants one because most little boys in story books have a teddy bear…. at least it’s not a horse which is what he’s been asking me for! Santa also gave out candy canes, while the elves nearby passed out free hot cocoa and stickers that said “Jesus Loves Me”…
The white in the background (sadly) is not real… It’s just a white piece of plastic.
They did however have some snow that they shipped in that morning!
We had to ride the train to get to the snow area and Christian was really excited to see it!
First, they let the kids play in the snow pile…it was pretty much dirty ice by then… Jared is in the background of the picture trying to chip away at the snow so that Christian could make snowballs. Christian was just happy to stand on it!
Then they let the kids sled down the hill, it was a pretty good sized hill because Christian slid down so fast this is the only picture I got of him that is discernable…and this is when he was stopping at the bottom!
I’m thinking the amusement park is privately owned…I don’t think people in Utah would dare put up a sign like this without having to worry about a million protesters marching around!
I’m so thankful I got to see some snow…even if it was a perfect day of 72 degrees!
Cute pictures! That's fun they shipped in some snow for the kids. It's also cool they had those messages about Christ. What a cool activity!
