New Hampshire at its best... part 2

Santa... in July? Only in New Hampshire at Santa's Village!
I know it sounds crazy, but there is a small, delightful (there is no other word to describe it!) amusement park in northern New Hampshire (actually more than one!) perfect for families with kids ten and younger. Storyland has always been our favorite, but this trip we tried out Santa's Village and we weren't disappointed.


Everything has some kind of Christmas themed twist, like the reindeer on the carousel. Instead of the teacups, you ride in the Little Drummer Boy's Drums. Instead of a sky ride you ride above the park in Santa's sleigh.
I have to admit, the only thing that did get old was the music... Christmas carols being played through the whole park can get on your nerves after a bit.
Finally, a trip to an amusement park isn't complete without a ride on the Yule Log Flume!!


We all had a great time, including Noah, but I know his interest level for a place like this may be fleeting with each passing year. Hopefully though we'll squeeze in a few more of these trips because I'm not quite done yet!
