Santa's Puke-shop...I mean Santa's Workshop...

We took the kids to a mini-amusement park west of Colorado Springs called "Santa's Workshop"...off the Pikes Peak Hwy. Its has LOTS of good rides for kids 6 and under and some "spin you till you puke rides" like my favorite the Tilt-O-Whirl and the Scrambler....

The kids had a great time....they were fearless....Kailee and Nate would have ridden on them all if my stomach could have taken it.
My 2 Nephews, Karen (sister in law) and Brian's parents all went....none of us actually puked....not everyone in the park was so lucky....
