Today we went to see the singing Christmas bears uptown. The bears are very slow moving animatronical bears that sing Christmas songs. We have been going to see them for years. The kids have been talking about going to see them all month, but after we got there the kids were not interested at all. We watched the bears for a bit and then the kids were off to ride the escalators. There are three sets of escalators in this one large area and it is too much for little kids to resist. They had more fun doing this….
Than watching this…..
I, however, had the most fun doing this….
As tradition has set in place, we take the Lynx (Light Rail) uptown. It takes just as long to drive to the train’s Park and Ride lot as it would if we just drove uptown, but then we wouldn’t have the fun of riding the train. The picture says it all…yes, we were the loudest people on the train.
I am not sure if we will go see the bears again next year. We probably will, but only for the other superfluous things that go along with the bears, like the train, escalators, drinks and peanuts, and a visit to “the big city”.
