Dads Birthday 2013
It was a busy day today for everyone with work, school, and Santa’s Magic Forest so its no wonder that we got a late start on Dads birthday.
As usual, Dad got a special chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and everyone enjoyed a late birthday snack on this cold December day. 53 years ago Dad was born, kind of amazing how the time flies when you are having fun.
Dad gets most of his gifts the day after Halloween, when Mom goes to the after Halloween sales and picks up whatever Dad needs for the next Halloween party. Still, plenty of gifts to open today for Dad.
Santa’s Magical Forest 2013
James and his family visited Santa’s Magic Forest at Taylor’s Heritage park and he caught up with several of his friends from summer VIP camp. Talking to the people who put this on they explained some of the decorations are from the old Hudson’s Christmas display that many adults remember fondly. It is all volunteer work (20 some setup days, 20 some people and 486 man hours) and the money raised helps several local food pantries.
James had a blast not only seeing friends he had not seen since summer but also with the elaborate animatronic displays and even a visit to ol St Nick. Big thanks to our friends at VIP camp for putting this event together. For more information about this event you can see the flyer, they are open till Dec 22nd this year.
