Cari and I took the kids over the Americana for their [fake] snow fall Thursday evening. The kids didn’t give a hoot that it was soap and we all had a great time. The place is, of course, all decked out for Christmas and really quite lovely. The kids made an early stop here to admire the view.
First stop was dinner and when we were done we had some time before the first snow fall at 7:00, so we took a short trolley ride.
After a good game of chase …
… some playing in the mulch …
… and watching the fountain …
… the snow started falling. The kids had a great time jumping up to catch it and just generally running around.
After the snow, we hung out a little longer. Finn met Frosty.
We rode the glass elevator.
Watched Tangled at the Sony store.
Or Toy Story, as the case may be.
We rode the trolley again and decided to wait for the 8:00 snow fall. Again, fun ensued. When it was over we dragged four very tired kids to the car, listened to how they were so thirsty they were going to die (!) and, luckily, provided them with a little water thanks to Cari. The boys crashed when we got home and actually slept until a little after 7:00 — quite a luxury!
I think a trip to the real snow is in order this winter.
