Colorado Vacation Part IV: The North Pole

Our final day on vacation was as awesome and action packed as the rest. On Monday morning we took to the road and drove up into the Mountains. To begin our adventures we stopped in Green Mountain Falls to eat at The Pantry, a great restaurant that has special meaning to Eric, and has amazing homemade cinnamon raisin bread.






















Green Mountain Falls also has a beautiful park area near The Pantry where we took bread to feed the ducks. However, the Geese were more interested in our bread than the ducks, or more demanding at least. It didn't matter to Bella though, she LOVED feeding the animals.



















After our wonderful breakfast and park visit we made our way to the coolest park for kids ages 2-10 at least called The North Pole. It's an awesome theme park centered around Christmas that runs all year round. The rides are perfect since most are for kids 36"and taller and if they are not tall enough they can ride with an adult. Bella totally picked up the roller coaster/rides gene from me and my Dad because she LOVES it. As soon as we got off one she wanted to go again or ride another. Here she is on her first ride. She rode it once and then her cousins met up with us and she and Gabe rode again.



















Gabe was also a huge fan of the rides, I see many theme parks in their future!


















Paulie Bear had a great time too although he couldn't ride most of the rides yet. He'll be up there soon enough and then they'll be no stopping the Neuteboom/Wells kids!








































One of the best rides were the cars, it was so cute to see all the kids driving, even Paul loved being at the wheel with the wind in his hair!




















They had face painting as well and we couldn't resist. Gabe and Bella both LOVED getting their faces painted,



























I must admit, I enjoyed it too!


















Overall it was a wicked fun time, We all loved the park and were totally worn out afterwards. We had a nice relaxing evening packing and resting and then set out for KS bright and early Tuesday. It was an action packed vacation but a perfect end on an amazing Summer.
