Santa's Secret Adventure

December 23, 2008 We experienced the most wonderful evening at the Penryn Oak Stables...we experienced Santa's Secret Adventure. We arrived and were greeted by an elf (Santa's helper) who gave us a stick and marshmallows to roast and directed us to a warm, crackling fire. As we were roasting and eating plenty of charred marshmallows, two gorgeous and festive wagons pulled-up and were led by two beautiful Belgian Draft horses. We boarded the red wagon and Snowflake (the horse) took us on a magical journey to see Santa at his special place. The journey to see Santa in the wagon allowed us to listen to the pitter patter of Snowflakes hoofs along with the jingle of his Christmas bells - music of the season. When we arrived to the destination, we were greeted to elves serving us chocolate chip cookies and hot cocoa and directed us to another huge crackling Christmas fire where another elf read us ""Twas the Night Before Christmas". When the story was over, guess to greeted us next???? Mrs. Claus! She then led us through the stables and upstairs to where Santa was resting before his big night. We climbed the stairs and there he was, resting at his desk. The group we were with yelled, "Surprise!". Santa was delighted to see us - he took time to speak to each and everyone of the kids (there were about 8 kids in our group) and take photos with them.

We'll definitely embark on this great adventure again next year.

We're only sorry that we missed another special visit from Santa at Grandma and Papa's home. Boy - that Santa can really move!!!
