North Pole and New Do's

Despite the bitter cold weather we have been experiencing in Woodland Park, we did manage to take the kids to the North Pole this past Saturday. We had a terrific time. There were hardly any people there, and the weather was actually decent during our visit. We started off by visiting Santa Claus, and the twins hated him. They cried and screamed so much that there was no way to get even a quick picture with him, so our 2009 Santa picture consists of just little ‘ol Kevin sitting there on the jolly man’s lap. After, we started riding the various rides. I honestly did not expect the twins to love the rides as much as they did. Lucas would cry each time the ride ended—he did not want to get off! Kevin was in heaven; there wasn’t much he wouldn’t ride! And Thomas would run from one ride to the next.

The only downfall was that since the twins are under 2 years of age, Paul and I had to ride almost every ride with them. And let me tell you, some of those rides are not made for mine and Paul’s figures. We were crammed, we had to suck our guts in just to fasten seatbelts…it was actually very hilarious!

And Grandma Traci accompanied us, scooter and all. She just had foot surgery and is unable to walk until the end of December, so she has to either crutch or scoot around. She brought her scooter to the North Pole and managed to scoot up and down all of the icy hills.

Also this week, we decided to save the $10/kid for haircuts. Paul decided to use his own clippers and buzz their hair himself. He did a great job…getting the kids to hold still was an adventure in itself. But I’ve got some pictures here of their new little haircuts—courtesy of Barber Paul.
