Рет қаралды 3,368
11 ай бұрынToday my daughter and I visit Santa's Village in East Dundee, IL. This fantastic amusement park designed for kids offers the ideal destination for a summer afternoon filled with excitement. Conceived by Glenn Holland, the vision of a Christmas-themed park opened on May 30, 1959. During our special daddy-daughter day, we're geared up to explore the exhilarating rides and captivating animal attractions. Join us as we take you on a journey through this theme park and provide insights into what you can expect. Let’s go!

Great theme park Carl. You know my favourite ride is the Bumper Cars. Looks like you all had a great time give the excitement. Thank you for taking us along. have a great week Carl. Regards to the family.

Bumper Cars are the best for sure. Rosalie and I partied it up before school started for her.

I think it's great that you do so many of these father-daughter days! Like you, I'm not much of a spinning ride person. My stomach is a wimp.

My wife has been training for the New York Marathon, so I figured I would give her a little break and party it up with Rosalie. I seriously thought Rosalie would have to call someone after I passed out. Glad that didn't happen.

Soooo cool to have a father-daughter day! It is really nice to see how busy it is, all kids enjoying Santa's town. Yas! Santos Chronicles leaving a mark in US family homes, love that you get recognized more and more. You guys are awesome and we know how much work you put into everything you do. Friends is always the best part of childhood. We are happy to see Rosalie blooming in that area. Once I rode that pirate thing and I had such a hard time, lol, very scary for me too. She is soooo cute!!!

I cherish these daddy/daughter days. Before you know it they are old like Addison and teaching her how to drive. Time just flies for sure. I'm glad I didn't pass out and leave Rosalie fending for herself. Hope everything is going well with you guys!

This place is perfect! Not too big or crowded for kids Rosalie’s age! I’m right there with you on the roller coasters. I was SHOCKED when I got on one in my 40s and thought, “this is not nearly as much fun as it used to be!” Now, as for the funnel cake with ice cream, SCORE on every level!!!! 😋🤤
@SantosChronicles 11 ай бұрын
I agree. And it was mostly a 10 min or less wait for each ride. Glad Rosalie can ride by herself on a lot of the rides because those spinny rides are rough. I was like what happens if I pass out, who will take care of Rosalie. Not surprised you liked the food we got

That's awesome!! The closest you can visit Santa and not waiting until December 🙂 Daddy-daughter day! This is a cool place for kids, even that north pole was "cool" lol.. thanks for taking one for the team! You screamed more than Rosalie haha 😄 oh man, that spinny ride!! I'm too old for that haha.. great vlog guys! My niece/nephew would love this place!

Daddy daughter trips are the best. RMS and I have our camping trip coming up! You're a brave man Carl... i would NOT have even taken Mister ON that ride! It would have jacked me up for the rest of the day! Its like... we ride this ride and then go home or we don't and ride some others! Funnel cake looked yummy. Looked like our county fair, just runs longer!
@SantosChronicles 11 ай бұрын
We have another one this weekend. Going to do a collab in Iowa with Someplace Or Another. Steam Engine - here we come! I now know better regarding that spinny ride. 2 more minutes I would have legit passed out. There were bigger rides also but Rosalie wasn't tall enough yet.

That’s been open a long time! I can’t believe the North pole is cold 🥶! The rides are cute! Fun animals, no feeding bummer! I love funnel cakes 😋! I’m glad you didn’t pass out, I don’t do well with spiny rides either! Way to go Rosalie!
@SantosChronicles 11 ай бұрын
LOL. I need to remember to bring cash where ever I go. Never saw a funnel cake I didn't like. I was close to passing out. I was really worried what Rosalie would do if I did pass out. Glad Rosalie had a great time even though her dad had to take it easy the 2nd half of the day.

Carl, this is one of my favorite videos! The storytelling was so great and Rosalie was so darn cute. I also cannot do Spinny rides at all and used to do them all when I was a kid! That made me laugh so hard because I do one of them now and I’m done lol.

Thank you so much. This year storytelling is something I have been working on, so this comment is so appreciated. That was the last one ever, because I thought Rosalie would be there with a passed out Dad. That would have been an embarrassing vlog 😂

Oh yeah, congrats for reaching 3k my gosh, you are growing so fast but no one deserves this growth more than you! I am genuinely happy to see that your efforts are paying off. I find huge value in your videos, they are very professional and well edited packed with useful and interesting information! My gosh this video made me realised that Christmas it's approaching (once again) time is flying! Oh yeah, that place gets out the kid in you for sure! You had the best excuse to be a kid again. I also love those places but not having a kid I have no excuses to go there :)) Nice, people recognize you, amazing!! Good that you didn't pass out, I would have for sure! Rosalie was so cool! ha,ha the Christmas song really put me in Christmas mood. Great video!! x

Thank you so much. I was looking at your channel and you have done really well! So fun to have creators with the same crazy passion grow together. Some just faster than others! That is why I'm shocked when people recognize out in public. In the end, if no one watched it serves as weekly family home videos. Crazy to look back when Addison was small. Yea, Christmas will be her before we know it.

I had never heard of this place. It looks perfect for kids. And for me! I could do most of those rides. But yeah - I do have to close my eyes on some of those spinning rides to keep from getting dizzy. I love amusement parks and I love Christmas so I am ready to check this place out!
@SantosChronicles 11 ай бұрын
There use to be a place Kiddie Land but that closed. So there really isn't any competition in our area for a kids theme park like Santa's Village. I tried spotting and closing my eyes, nothing worked. I just prayed I didn't pass out. I survived and we ended up having a great day. Before we know it, it will be Christmas time. Can't believe it is Sept. already.
