The North Pole (Colorado)

Continuing on with the previous post, I made sure we had a lot of fun activities before heading to Idaho. After going to the Botanical Gardens on Saturday, we met up with another group of friends and headed north, to the North Pole that is! Near Colorado Springs, there is an amusement park called The North Pole, . I had never heard of it, but was excited to check it out. It was October, only a couple mores months until Christmas, wouldn't hurt to get into the spirit a little early! Also it was military month, so Aidan & I got in free! Woot!! Aidan was still a bit small for many of the rides, but enjoyed the ones he could go on. We even went and saw Santa, of course this year he was not so much into him. Kinda traumatized the kid, I think (plus it was way past naptime)!!!

Since he was still small for some of the rides our friend's daughter, Tessa, rode with him. They are just like brother and sister. Aidan behaved pretty well for her and they had a good time.

I took him on the sky ride & ferris wheel. Not going to lie, I was so terrified of doing that. On the sky ride he tried kicking his shoes off, of course. Rachel went on the ferris wheel with us, so he had an adult on each side. I was a bit less panicky. We also went on a ride where you drive a car around a course. That was Aidan's favorite. He would sit at the fence, "car, car, car"! There was also a petting zoo where you could feed...what else, reindeer. Aidan was scared of them, so we just looked at them and took a picture. We came home exhausted (and then had to pack for our next trip), but it was totally worth it!! I would love to take him back before we move!
