"The North Pole"

In Colorado Springs, there is a children's amusement park, called the North Pole. I went went I was 12, and I thought I was too big. When we were out in Colorado, I was excited to take Zachery there, a perfect place for little kids. It did not disappoint, Zach had a great time and so did we

The post on this sign has ice around it...cool. The fact that everyone there touches it and I'm sure some kids licked it....not cool.


We'd taken Zach to the Strawberry festival and told him he could have 2 rides. Well, when we got to the North Pole, he kept insisting he only got 2 rides. :) He was weighing his options, but I didn't want to sit around, so I'd offer to go with Zach, then when he refused, I'd get on and sometimes grab one of my neices or nephews to ride with me, to look more legit. I was having fun. Eventually Zach warmed up to the rides and he had a great time too. In this ride, Zach said we had to put our hands in the air and say, "Wheee".

Zach rode this 3 times, just don't let your skin touch the sides.

It was wonderful having our family together! That is vacation for us.


It's hard to tell from this photo, but these elves looked freaky. Santa was very jolly and normal though. :)
