Heading out from our house, it had just started to flurry. By the time we made it to Lake Harriet, the snow was so thick we could barely see the water. It turned out to be an idyllic setting for our family outing to the Holly Trolley this year.
Waiting for the streetcar...
Although this photo doesn't quite capture it, this was my favorite moment of Otto enjoying the Holidays so far. He was watching as the trolley was coming towards the station. As it pulled closer he followed it and as he turned to me, I saw his eyes just light up, he had a little "hop" in his step and he smiled and kept saying "choo, choo." He was so excited about the trolley arriving!
Family outing to Linden Hills Station
Max was so excited to see Santa. Immediately he wanted to tell Santa,"Santa, Santa! I was catching snowflakes on my tongue." as if he and Santa were old friends and he couldn't wait to tell him this!
Super cute old-fashioned trolley that's a historic landmark in our neighborhood. We're lucky to have this "adventure" out our front door for the PJ Trolley, Trick or Trolley, Holly Trolley, etc.
The Boys
As you might notice from this photo, neither Max nor Otto were that interested in Santa once he got closer... No sitting on his lap, sharing a wish list, etc. Maybe Joe and I need to start "talking him up" so they show a bit more enthusiasm.
