This morning, we took off for the North Pole! Of Course, TG had to make his appearance....
The history of this pole is here:
Flag poles
And the Wonderful Christmas store! All of the "pictures" on here are made from hand painted tiles, then fired and tiles are applied to the outside of this building.. They are very intricate and well done....
Christmas tree with toys under.
And then there is THIS: ... I waited and waited, but Santa did not arrive.....
More tiles on the outside walls.
And there are several reindeer in pens around here at the park.. their horns are all in velvet..
Inside, it is a WONDERLAND!
Note the TIME left till Christmas!!!!!! YIKES!
This Nativity is nearly life sized and under a staircase....
This "Diorama" inside a TV type cabinet is really cute!!!
Another wall outside with the tiles.
The other half...
A pair of wonderful paintings of the Aurora Borealis behind the North Pole Santa house.
The visitor center here at the North Pole.
Fun day and I accidentally "found" a few things............
Then we went to the "Knotty Shop", just a short distance from the North Pole - they had WONDERFUL sculptures of different critters outside - made from the burls of trees!
Prehistoric Pteradactile Skeeter!!!!!
All of the posts on the building's porch were made from burls!
Great Taxidermy inside, too!
And HUGE planters out front! These flowering Kale were HUGE!
Moose in an alcove.
A Moose head made from a burl!
Den trying to "tame this skeeter.....''
Finally wandered home by dinnertime....
Tomorrow is Pioneer Park....
