Day 17: Visit Santa
Boogie didn't go meet Santa last year. He was only 6 months old so we figured it'd be more trauma than it was worth. He still has no idea who 'Santa' is and why he sat on his lap, but he was a good sport and very polite. He smiled and said "hi" when we walked into the room. He said "thank you" (well, he blew a kiss and said "muah!") for his candy cane and then waved and said "bye bye!" to everyone as we left.
We decided to go to the Johnson County Museum for our Santa visit and I will say, if they have this event next year, it's where we'll go again!! There was no crowd, no line, no fees....quick and easy!! If you've never been to this museum (and you have little kiddos) you should check it out! They have a large exhibit called "KidScape." It was originally planned to be a temporary exhibit, but because of it's popularity (with people like our playgroup) it was made permanent!! The museum's description of the exhibit is "Designed to look like a suburban streetscape, KidScape immerses children into a colorful, exciting environment where they can learn about community through role-playing and meet some of Johnson County's most talented citizens - past and present!. Enter into six enticing environments: bookstore, park, City Hall, hospital, fashion boutique, and theater." Boogie loves to play here. Oh, and did I mention it's completely FREE!!
Dr. Boogie...the Pediatrician??
Pumpkin was checking it out...
Santa was hanging out in the KidScape Theatre. I was surprised that we were one of maybe 4 families in the whole place!! They also had a room in another part of the museum where kids could make holiday crafts. (We figured they'd be geared toward bigger kids so we skipped that part...) Like I said, it really was a great place to go see Santa. Hopefully the slow turn out won't keep them from having the event in the future. Well, without further ado...here's the picture you've all been waiting for....Boogie meets the man in red...
