Prairie Lights

We went to Prairie Lights for the first time this year with Mondo's brother and his family and Mondo's mother. I didn't know what to expect. I really thought it was just driving through a neighborhood looking at house lights. Boy was I wrong! It was actually a great display of lights in Lynn Creek Park that you drive through. The boys loved it! Especially since they got to get out of their car seats and look out the window. The first half was about 30 minutes, then there was a place to park and go in and eat, ride a carousal, and see a light show. The rest of the drive was about 10 minutes. We had a great time and will definitely go back next year!

There were so many displays it was hard to choose just a few to post. This was one we drove under.

I loved this one. I think we'll do this next year for our house. "Hernandez" in bright lights. What do you think? :-)



Another one to drive through.

We stopped to eat and hot dog and saw a light show. Again, the only pictures I have of me and my kids are when I'm taking them!

Ethan enjoying some hot chocolate. He "drank" all of it with a spoon one sip at a time. Silly kid.

This is his display of how hot the hot chocolate was. You can actually see the steam coming off the cup!

This was one of my favorite parts. Behind the place you eat at there is a walk through light display. It was really cold but the kids enjoyed being able to get close to the lights.

The whole gang.

Being silly.

He was coming up with his own poses. He liked this dragon light.

Ethan and MoMo.

Caleb saying, "Can we go yet? It's freakin' cold out here!" Ok, maybe he really didn't say that but I'm sure he was thinking it!

What a good Daddy to ride the carousal with them so Mommy didn't puke. This one went really fast too! I was a little scared that they were going to fall off. There were no seat belts! But they loved it of course.

This was the final drive through before exiting the park. I can't wait to go back next year!
