Glidden Family Vacation Day #1- Santa's Village





















This year my parents celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary... Instead of taking a trip by themselves they decided to take all of us to New Hampshire for a long weekend at Santa's Village and Storyland (in retrospect they must be rethinking how nice a quite, peaceful trip for 2 would have been;)).  Day #1 landed us in Jefferson for an entire day at Santa's Village.  We arrived just after the park opened and stayed until it closed.  All of the kids had a blast... I think that Trey may have had more fun/entertainment watching the other 2, but he was very patient none the less.  Noah's favorite was, of course, the antique cars and getting to see Santa and tell him that he would like the Cars 2 movie for Christmas this year.  James loved the water park and is pretty good now to slide down the little water slides all by himself (no pictures d/t the fact that it was really wet no matter where you stood).  Trey liked spending time with his uncle, except when he was being jerked around in the back of the antique cars. He can't wait until next year when he can run around and go on the rides with N & J... he told me:) Dad was a pretty good photographer and got the great shot of our family (apparently we get a family photo only every 2 years at Santa's Village) as well as the picture of Gabe on the raft... Amy would like to say that the reason she isn't in this picture is because she was too far ahead of Gabe winning the race:) There is also a really cute picture of the 3 kids with Santa that I will try and post later once it is scanned.  Overall, a very fun and exhausting Day #1.
