You may remember that last year I put a picture of this cute yellow house on my blog and said we would visit it again this year to celebrate Christmas in July?
Well, that's exactly what we did!
Our family had a great day at this little amusement park. We loved hearing all the workers tell us, "Merry Christmas!"
This carousal didn't have horses to ride, but reindeer and sleighs!
There were a few other rides too, but this roller coaster was the favorite as all 4 of the big kids rode it about 20 times!
Hiram was too little to ride, but he still had fun smiling and showing off his 4 new teeth!
Yep, North Pole, New York has a frozen north pole. The kids loved feeling the cool ice on their hot hands.
The "village" with a candy shop, toy shop, bake shop, Christmas decor shop, museum, post office, etc. was just too darling! You may be familiar with another amusement park where you can get your name embroidered on mouse ears- well, here you could get your name put on a Santa hat or Christmas stocking, fun fun fun!
There was even Saint Nicholas' Chapel with a gorgeous nativity display inside and an old-fashioned piano.
They even performed a live Nativity pageant complete with the Holy family, shepherds, wise men, and angels.
The cutest house in the village belonged to Santa, of course. And we got to go inside!
He has a yummy kitchen,
darling bedroom,
and we found him in his living room!
*This little place was built back in 1949 and is not only Santa's summer home, but home to Frosty the Snowman, Chris Moose, Randy the Reindeer, Miranda Mouse, the 9 famous real reindeer, fun rides- including a train ride to the miniature elf village, fun shows, cute shops, a yummy restaurant, and a sweet statue of Santa kneeling at the baby Jesus. This place probably couldn't be built now-a-days, but it made our hearts happy and we're so glad it exists!
