The North Pole

We decided to go the The North Pole in November this year so that it would hopefully be less busy while we were there.  It ended up working out really well because Drew had a Monday off work so we went then and it wasn't busy at all.  The kids could run around and get on any ride they wanted with practically no wait.  Drew and I definitely agreed that this was the best way to do this amusement park.  We went in December last year and it was a little too crowded for us, but November was great!  The kids had a ton of fun and could go on every ride that they wanted to!

Anders refused to see Santa.  He was terrified and had no interest.  Alden was very excited to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas, a Paw Patrol boat.

The boys got to ride on the carousel with Daddy!

The weather was also wonderful and warm while we were there!  Eliza loved just being outside in the stroller.

Anders was so excited to ride this with Mom!  I can't believe my little boy is almost 3!

The boys love riding the ladybug together while Eliza and Daddy watch.

Boys on their motorcycles!

The boys and Daddy spinning in circles!

So, funny story, I was trying to take a picture of Drew and Eliza so I was making faces at Eliza to make her smile, not realizing I was taking a selfie instead. Drew had a good laugh at me over that!

Anders did not want to smile for the picture, he just wanted to move!

Alden ready to drive his race car!

Alden was so excited to do this ride!  I hate this type of ride but the Alden thought it was awesome, and this one just kind-of bounced, it didn't drop.

Alden and Anders loved shooting the little guns on this rocket!

Apparently this was my day for making funny faces....I did love getting to ride so many rides with Alden!

Alden loved riding in these ornaments and making them go up and down.

Back in the ladybug...

Alden got to ride on Rudolph!

We all got to go on the little train ride.  Even Eliza enjoyed it!

Okay, so funny thing about this bear...I wanted the boys to go take a picture with it but Anders wasn't so sure.  He was a little scared of the bear so he decided he wanted to...

kick it!  Apparently that made the bear much less intimidating.

Anders loved "driving" Daddy around!

The boys love riding on all the motorcycle rides there!

Alden loved going down this giant slide!

Last ride of the day, and Alden went all on his own and loved it!  He definitely loves his "big kid" rides, unlike his Dad.

I asked Alden if I could take his picture on the sled before we left and this was what I got...I love my boy!  We had a great day and truly enjoyed our time there!
