Santa in July...

As I continue to procrastinate actually cleaning the house for company, here are some of the many photos from Monday's trip to Santa's Workshop in Colorado Springs. :) First up is Micah, happily tall enough for all of the rides:

Asher remained Nathan's only "big ride" buddy and delighted in riding all of the bigger rides with Nathan:

Noah, though still refusing any of the bigger rides, did relent and go on the ferris wheel with me...twice!

Yes, his face looked like that most of the time...well, when he didn't have his eyes shut whilst grasping the safety bar or when he wasn't bemoaning the fact that he didn't like it. :) Still. At least he was willing to go. (Note, he refused to ride with Nathan, as Nathan rocks the thing...I wasn't allowed to move and had to keep an arm around him at all times, lol.)

Ah, yes, there are many, many more photos of all the fun times and unpredictable weather (it rained twice then cleared up beautifully and then we had thunderstorms that shut everything down for awhile before the sun once again made an appearance, ending the visit on a happy note). During the thunderstorm, Micah finally consented to sit in Santa's lap:

We'd stopped by Santa's house earlier in the day and Asher promptly climbed right up and shared his "list" but Micah wouldn't go near the chair and refused absolutely to sit with him. (Noah insisted that it was silly to do this before November.) But, once reminded of what Micah had wanted to tell Santa and seeing as how Santa's house was nice and dry and it was pouring rain right then, we finally got this shot. (And once he started talking it was hard to get him to stop...not only did the boy share his wish list, but he proceeded to tell Santa about his favorite Wii games and favorite Wii characters and all sorts of other things.)

Oh, okay. I suppose I'll go work on my to do list now... ;)
