Santa's Village

While in Fayetteville we went to visit Santa's Village.  The North Pole was a little warmer than i expected though ;) 

Once there you park and take a hayride through the woods to the village.  The kids loved the fact that we were being pulled by a tractor of course.  The first thing we did was the most important...visit Santa!   He was a very nice Santa and just sat and talked to us.  The kids felt much more at ease sitting in our laps than than Santa's.

 No crying from Norabird...apparently Santa isn't as scary as the Easter Bunny

 we also fed the mule/horse/donkey --(if you know what it is, pls refrain from making snippy comments...it was a little funny looking in person and we couldn't decide what it was but felt too stup to ask...so, MORSKY (mule, horse, donkey it is.)

 holden loved it...fed him the pellets with no fear!

We ended our night with hot chocolate, cider, peanuts and a hayride back to our car.  We all enjoyed it so much, i believe we will go back next year for sure--it was much more fun than visiting Santa in the mall!
