Visit with Santa Claus


Today I took Dylan to what is called the Older Persons Center...OPC for short. It's a place in Rochester Hills, MI for the 50 and older crowd. You have to be a resident to be able to go there....Which Alton's parents are. The place is kind of like a rec center for those of that age. They have a track to walk, an exercise room with all the latest equipment, a library, cafe...That kind of stuff. Well, every year they put on the most awesome Christmas display. This is the second year that we've went. Well, Santa Claus was there. I thought for sure that Dylan would rant and rave and want NOTHING to do with Santa. Well, he surprised the heck out me....He loved Santa!! When Dylan first walked up Santa had his hand up to give Dylan a high five, so Dylan slapped his hand no problem. Then I put him on his lap to get his picture taken...He was fine! Didn't think a thing about it!! Sure was the total opposite of what I thought! So cool! The only bad part was that Dylan turned his head right when the lady snapped his picture. So after Dylan got his candycane we had lunch and then went for storytime in the library. They read Polar Express. He wasn't all that interested in that though. This weekend that they put on is so much fun for the kids! And the adults too. The decorations are beautiful! There must have been a hundred Christmas trees...All decorated differently. They had face painting too, but Dylan didn't want to do it. Sure does get you into the Christmas Spirit.
