An Early Visit from Santa at Potomac Overlook Regional Park

Santa's granddaughters, 6-year-old Lily and 2-year-old Brigit, have stopped in to visit Santa at Potomac Overlook Regional Park on his trip to Arlington from the North Pole on Sunday, Dec. 11. Lily gives Santa a big hug while Brigit zooms around the room. Lily tells Santa that her mom says she has to go to bed by 8 p.m. on Christmas eve. She tells Santa she wants Pokemon cards and a Barbie.

An Early Visit from Santa <cl>While it was -20 degrees back home at the North Pole on Sunday, it was below freezing in Arlington when Santa dropped in for a visit with children. Charlie Ferraro has made out a list for Santa beginning with a drone and ending with a punching bag. Santa says he has left his reindeer home today because they can get too rambunctious. They might eat all of the pancakes.

Lily and Brigit Pitts explore the nature center after their turn with Santa. Lily points to a tall glass case full of fossils which she explains are bones. Her little sister observes a rescued turtle in an aquarium. The turtle is missing a leg. "See he is swimming."
