BLINDED BY THE LIGHTS

On Tuesday evening the kids and I (along with Stina, Scott, Hudson and my mom) headed out towards College Station to Santa's Wonderland. It's a fun place that we try and get to every year and thankfully they are open through New Years Eve because it's hard to get to it before Christmas.

It's a drive through Christmas experience with millions of lights with different Christmas scenes. It's really hard to explain in writing and I am sure if you don't know what it is and need a first hand look at it, I can put together a slide show of all of the pictures Calli took with her new camera. She took about 5 pictures of every scene to capture every moment. I should actually do that and sell it to the place for marketing material.

We all piled in the back of Scott's truck (once we got there) and drove through. Hudson was more concerned about his bottle although I am sure he was stimulated in some way. After the drive through of lights all snuggled pretty uncomfortably under a blanket, we piled out and my mom and the kids and I went into Santa Town for some fun. They had a petting zoo, pony rides, big screen movie of The Christmas Story, mechanical bull riding (which my kids were both too scared to do) and some cute little shops. Out in the middle, they had a huge campfire with a live band playing. Every few minutes there would be snow (fake obviously) that blew out from overhead and if Colson saw it, he'd drop whatever he was doing and run to it. Hence the reason I couldn't get him in this supposed to be family picture. He liked to open his mouth and try to catch it.

Lots of fun!
