The North Pole

We decided to take the boys to the North Pole in Colorado Springs as a way to celebrate both of their birthdays. It is one of our favorite places to go!!

What is a visit to the North Pole without Santa??

Cautious Colby was a little nervous!

Next we were off to the spinning decorations. 

Even Daddy had a blast at this one!!

I can't get enough of these big smiles, I can almost hear their giggles through the picture!



After the spinning we had to take a breather, Colby and Jason look so similar in this picture...equally UNAMUSED!

Chasey picked the sled with his favorite number five on it.

Daddy and Colby, and random North Pole worker (oh that could come off so wrong!)

Mommy and Chasey


Mom and Colby

Watch out, Chasey is at the wheel!

WAHOO MOTORCYCLES!

Colby LOVES it too!

Future Sons of Anarchy!!

Colby picked his favorite number, 8 of course!!

The horses were not quite as big of a hit.

A little different than his expression on the motorcycle huh?

This is why we love this place, it is never too crowded and it is in the shade. 5 Stars from this mama!

Can't beat a classic carousel!

Chasey, giving his horse a little love pat. 

Gondola - North Pole style. I will never forget riding this with Chase the year before. He started squirming and I thought he was going to slip right out of the seat. Just looking at this pic gives me butterflies!

I was so nervous about him falling off that I had a death grip around his waist the whole time, fortunately it doesn't seem to effect Chasey one bit!

Dad and Colby

...loving the view!

Trains will always be number one for these boys!

Anticipatory excitement!

Chase and Colby went to check out a little elf puppet show. 

Like the rest of us, they realize there is something inherently creepy about puppet shows...so they held hands :D

Love of my life

So thankful to live in beautiful Colorado!

Rocket ship time!

Colby looks a little annoyed that the kid behind him appears to be shooting him. 

He gets over it quickly when he realizes he can shoot the kid in front of him, boys and guns...

Ferris Wheel (the highest one in the world!)

Love this boy!

Last but not least, a ride in the boats!

Colby was pooped, snuggled with his tractors the whole way home. 

Chasey was equally spent. What a fun day for all of us!
