Leading up to Christmas, the Amana Colonies has lots of festivities going on and when I heard about a live reindeer, I was all, “We should take Henry!” So this past Saturday, amidst the fog, we strolled through the shops, bought some fresh chocolate truffles from the Chocolate Haus (obviously), and were complimented by an older couple that our son was wearing a hat (while they simultaneously pointed out several “not responsible” parents whose children were not wearing hats).
The stroller would’ve been a pain to get in and out of the teeny-tiny shops and a lot of them also had stairs so we decided just to carry Henry around. He didn’t mind at all.
We couldn’t get close to the reindeer (“Prancer”, the woman said.), but we could stand on one side for a photo. So we did. Because I love a good photo opportunity. If only I could’ve perched Henry on the reindeer’s back…or kicking back in that antler rack.
