After a first failed attempt to enjoy the festivities at Christmas Town, we decided to try again. We tried to go a couple weekends ago, but got turned away when we were just seven cars from the gate. Apparently, the park was filled to capacity and there were no more parking spaces. I've never heard of an amusement park running out of parking, but it was just our luck.
We invited my mom to go with us this time and had no trouble getting in....it probably had something to do with the fact that it was FREEZING and WINDY! We came prepared with hats, scarves & gloves and were excited to see what all the fuss was about.
The kids were a bit naughty, so we stuck them in the pillory....
I think they learned their lesson. ;-)
The decorations were amazing, and each country was decorated with different colors/types of lights. My phone camera doesn't quite do it justice.
Here we are in Germany, celebrating our family heritage.....
The lights were so amazing!
The kids rode some rides and loved it. Their tolerance for the cold was substantially higher than ours.
Here are some of the lights in Italy. It was truly amazing....every branch was lit!
I wish the pictures of these lights captured how spectacular they were in person.
This was Pompeii. I can't imagine how long it must have taken to put all these lights up.
Here's Logan getting a ride from Dad. His hip (torn hip flexor) was bothering him from all the walking.
Here are some of the kids just being silly. They loved the giant candy canes. We were go grateful Logan wore that crazy hat. It made it a lot easier to keep an eye on him.
One of the highlights of the evening was Scott surprising us with funnel cakes. And not just your ordinary funnel cakes....these were topped with ice cream, hot fudge and whipped cream. Yum!
We had a great time! What a fun way to start Christmas break!
