The kids enjoyed Santa’s Village so much that they begged Adam to take me back. It was very sweet that they wanted to share this experience with me. I was touched.

We left the twins in Mom’s hands and headed out to East Dundee.

I’m glad I got to see this place first hand. Adam said it was A LOT easier with two parents. Some of the rides that Ben was too scared to go on, Adam could still take Jack on…

And Adam, seasoned Santa’s Village veteran that he is, volunteered ME for other rides that Ben was too scared to go on…

I thought I was going to hurl after this ride. Why were these so much fun as a kid?

Then we visited the old favorites…

We also packed a lunch. Another tip from Adam. Everything in this place is fried and/or heavily processed.

Tuna, Strawberries and Cheese was healthy enough that we didn’t feel guilty for this treat later…

Funnel Cake and Superman Ice Cream
