Christmas Town....After Dark

After dark came, Christmas Town was really pretty. They had LOTS of lights. And they gave us LOTS of ideas for next year. My favorite were lights that were pink, blue and white on white trees. They even had white gravel around. It all looked like snow. Then, they had also sprinkled pine wood chips around the trees along the walk way. We are soooo doing that next year out front. The smell was amazing!!

Those are many many trees behind Dingy.

Goofy was cheesing for me. Widget just wanted to look.

Somewhere along this path, Widget lost his shoe. We never found it. He left Christmas Town with only one shoe. (I went Christmas shopping tonight and had to buy him a new pair.)

Goofy got bitten by a polar bear.

We took the kids on the train ride through the park.

The roof of the train.

Widget sitting on the train.

This is where Widget jumped from Rod's lap to mine cause the snowman was on my side.

It got a little chilly that night....as you can see from Goofy's breath.

These were my favorite colored lights. I never saw pink and blue lights like these before. Now Rod's job is to find a kajillion of these for our house for next Christmas.

They made snow!!!! Goofy LOVED the snow!!

And Dingy huddling by a heater.

Christmas Town was just too much for Widget.

Dippy shut Rod and Dingy in the phone booth. They couldn't get out.

Goofy needed to be in after Dippy finally let the others out.

Widget's bed.

And don't yell at me for his mismatched clothes. I had to change his diaper when we got back to the hotel. I tried to change his shirt, but he started to get upset, so I just let it go.

Christmas Town!!!!

Yesterday we travelled down to Christmas Town!!!!! It's at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. They've been doing this since 2008 (I think) but this is the first year I heard about it. Well, Rod heard it on the radio and told me to look it up and see if we wanted to go. We did!! :) We thought Widget would really like it with the way he LOVES all the lights and trees just in people's yards throughout the neighborhood. But after leaving there last night, I think Goofy may have been the one to enjoy it the most. I got a LOT of big smiles from him and on our way through the parking lot, he said, "this was fun. Can we come back next year?"

I don't remember what Rod was saying, but I think I was being yelled at!

We loved these white trees with the white gravel. Rod was getting lots of ideas for decorating our house next year.

Widget loved the snowman. When we rode the train around, it was dark out and the snowman was lit up, Widget jumped across the seat to see this!

The penguins! We saw these first cause we got there early, and I knew from reading on Facebook that later in the evening, it can be a 2 hour wait to get into the penguin house.

Widget and Goofy both rode this ride with Dippy and Rod.

There they go!

Snck time! I had taken a bunch of snacks with me so that we didn't go broke feeding the kids. The prices at these places are always ridiculous. But every time I turned around, Rod was in line buying new snacks!! He bought a refillable hot chocolate mug. Refills were only $.99. We drank a LOT of hot chocolate.

Goofy wanted his picture taken with this bear.

The little elf was sawing that peppermint stick 'log'.

They had to ride the carasoul for Widget.

Goofy was tall enough that he as allowed to ride some of the bigger rides, too. They tried to ride a roller coaster, but after an hour in line, the ride broke down for a while, so they gave up and we moved on to other things.
