First, we piled into a wagon for a horse-drawn hayride. We sang Christmas carols while shaking jingle bells, but mostly we were cold! It was in the low 20s, so everyone sat bundled under blankets and too many layers to count. The sights were beautiful, however. A decent snowfall yesterday made for picture-perfect conditions along the Huron River.
After 20 minutes or so, we arrived at our destination. A small house (warmed by a roaring fire) was awaiting us with cookies, fruit and hot chocolate. We settled in; it takes awhile to get those layers off. Then Santa arrived and the children were thrilled. One by one, the kids had a chance to talk to Santa about the year and their Christmas wishes.
After our visit with Santa, we wrapped up again to play in the snow briefly before heading home. It was such a nice time and we're so happy our friends invited us along. We'll definitely return next year!
