Amazing Family Trip to Lapland
When we arrived, we were met in the baggage area by Santa's elves who chatted to the children and caused mischief on the baggage belt, which made the children laugh, we were then swiftly taken to the hotel which was lovely, warm and cosy.
We were suited and booted in our thermal clothes and boots and that afternoon/evening had free time to explore the sledging slopes which were great fun, make snow angels and have a lovely dinner.
The following day was full of activities we were collected from the hotel and taken to Santa's house, we had the most amazing day ice fishing, sitting round an open fire with marshmallows and hot chocolate, a reindeer safari ride, husky sled ride (which was driven by my husband) and more sledging, but the highlight of the day was our private meeting to see Santa, we were taken through the woods by a skidoo pulled sledge up to a beautiful wooden cottage and were greeted by elves making snowmen and having snowball fights.
We were led into the cottage where Father Christmas was sitting by a log burning fire holding our sons’ letter which he had sent a few weeks earlier with his present list. At this point the tears were rolling down my face with such happiness and they didn't stop until we got back to the UK.
That evening we had a brilliant gala dinner and the children played games such as pass the parcel and musical statues.
If you have always wanted to visit Lapland then I would 100% recommend it, it isn't the cheapest of trips but one that will stay in your memory for a very long time, if you would like me to help plan your break please let me know.
