We had so much fun today at the Christmas Festival - the balloon modeller was fantastic -a British guy dressed as an Elf, cracking jokes, singing (terribly lol) and generally entertaining for HOURS!!
Their lovely garlic dilly potatoes, cookie decorating, indoor snowball fights, train ride with Santa...just a lovely festive afternoon :) Our friends L and K and their families also came along - it was fun to almost fill the train ride with homeschoolers :)

One of the staff took Abby and Sam with her inside to get hot chocolate and a cookie to give to Santa before our train ride. The Santa was the guy who normally does the gem mining - the kids know him so well they recognized his voice :)
