North Pole Cruise

Early in December we booked a cruise to the North Pole via Lake Coeur d'Alene. The ship was run by elves. It was totally fun.

There were light displays all over the lake.

When we got to the North Pole, Santa was there to greet us (with his helper Pepper Mint)! He even read us his Nice List and guess who was on it? Both Alaina and Leah.

Lainy told me later that she was surprised she was on the nice list because she'd been throwing a fit in the car on the way to the cruise... Good thing Santa is quick to forgive!

On the way back to Coeur d'Alene we noticed that there was a young boy throwing lawn chairs off the back of the boat... It was kind of hilarious until we told the captain and the boy got in trouble. His mom didn't act very surprised. I wonder if he was on the nice list?

The girls had a great time and so did we. We wish we could be around for a repeat next year. Hopefully Boston at Christmas-time is magical too!
