25th Street

December 8th

One of the things I love about Ogden is 25th St (our street, but much closer to town). In December, the entire block between 25th and 26th on Washington Blvd. is covered in Christmas lights and several local businesses sponsor a little village house that's filled with Christmas/winter themed decorations like Santa's workshop or miniature ski slopes with skiers. There's a small cafe on the corner that serves hot chocolate with eggnog icecream and has a fire where you can roast chestnuts and eat free s'mores. so small town and fun.

and COLD! This was Hazel's second encounter with Santa, so it was a very important trips but we froze our tocuses off. The best part was when I decided to take Hazel on this little train that goes around the block (so we thought). David and Charlotte stayed behind as we waved excitedly, only to find out that the train circles the block not once, but TWICE so by time we came around the second time David was like "finally!" and then we KEPT GOING. I was about to jump ship. We ended up going down 25th a few blocks more to the actual train station and then back. We were confused and frozen. No free s'more that night. All in all we had a good time.
