Mesaba Holiday Party

Today we went to the Annual Mesaba Holiday Party. Santa flies in from the North Pole on one of Mesaba's airplanes and comes in to the hangar to greet the kids before he heads back to a special room where the kids can come visit him. There are lots of activities, bouncies and food for everyone.

Shortly after we arrived, we ran into one of Rick's coworkers. Jazzy asked Wally if he was staying out of trouble. Wally replied honestly by saying, "Well, not today, but usually."

Wally ran from one bouncy to another. There were a total of 4.


The boxing ring was full of big kids most of the day, but at the end of the day, Wally got his turn. The gloves are a little big, but he had fun.


Wally got his turn to see Santa. He was very excited and not even slightly shy. He sat right up on his lap. Santa asked what Wally wanted for Christmas, Wally said he wanted a big giant (train) layout like Grandma and Grandpa have, and a new Slinky because his is broken. As he got ready to leave, he shook hands with Santa while telling him "Thank You, Santa," accepted a gift from him and headed out the door.


We headed out to a table so Wally could open his gift from Santa. He was excited to find a Transformer. He'd never been given one before. He couldn't wait to get home to play with it.
