ok, so far we've visited at least 4 santa's ....unitil recently mia has been strongly opposed to the big guy, so anytime she mentioned his name, we jumped at the chance to take her..hoping to help her face her fear..yeah, i know..she's 3-she'll grow out of it...every one we've seen (except the one sitting in a golf cart at rural king...he was great!) has been a lure to get your 30 bucks for a 5x7...seriously, kid after kid, i watch them look at the camera(not smile) then put the kid down and wait for the next snotty toddler...now, for many of us..going to see santa is a big deal and for him to fall in step with the rest of the world just to meet quota is kinda disheartning...as we left the one at opryland hotel, (i was certain he would be a good one- after all, travel channel just voted opryland 'the most christmassy hotel in the world, so surely he's the best santa ever..) mia asks, "mom, why was he so grumpy?"..."maybe he's tired" i tell her as i turn to glare at him :)
they did have a cute little train...braxton loved it...he literally tried to fit thru the fence (see pic)...ok the story behind chance feeding him is hilarious...we stopped for ice cream in the hotel but were trying to make our way to the couches down the hall to sit and eat it...well, of course brax didn't understand that, so he just thought he wasn't gonna get any...so taking things in his own hands, as we walked he would run and latch onto our legs, wrapping his hands all the way around so we couldn't move...once he'd get a bite, he'd sprint ahead to the next person, latch on, get a bite...repeat...it was so funny!
