So, the whole idea of Santa thrills Josie but anytime she spots him (even from across the room) she says one of two things - "Cuddle Me" or "I'm ready to go home!" This has been the case at more than one Santa-sighting. Since each time has gotten progressively more terrifying to her, we've gone from "let's not push it" to "avoid Santa at all costs." In case you need anymore evidence of her Santa-phobia, she told me the other day - "You tell DD not to say Ho, Ho, Ho to me. He has a beard like Santa."
The good news is that there's plenty of non-Santa holiday action in & around downtown. And we've had so much fun already this year doing it all. Here are some photos from "Holiday Junction" at the Museum Center - where we were lucky enough to bump into Angela & Andrew so that J & A got to ride the train together. Josie wasn't sure about it at first, but definitely had fun in the end!
She really loved the trains as you can very clearly see from all of these photos!
(Trains aren't just for boys, ya know?!)
And, she got to spend some good quality time playing with her Daddy while I played photog!
The other big news about our day at the Museum is that Josie has now deemed herself big enough for "The Woods" which is like a big, huge maze of tunnels, slides, etc. Look at her go!
Here are J & L inside a tube that makes you feel like you're actually inside the aquarium. Josie thought she'd make it even more fun by pushing her nose up against the glass at the end.
(This is looking down on them in the tube from the top.)
Here's my fearless family making their way across a tunnel that we all hoped was strong enough to hold adults, dangling about 10 feet above ground. Yay Josie!
And what would an afternoon at the Children's Museum be without a little sailing?
