Kiwanis Holiday Lights

Tonight, we finally made it down to Sibley Park.  It wasn’t for lack of trying, but all of our previous attempts saw the traffic backed up for hours.  Tonight, we waited in line for about 30 minutes in the car.  Then, when we got in the park we  decided to park and walk it since it was a nice night (should have saved the 30 minute wait and just walked in to begin with, but we weren’t thinking.)  IMG_5018

We enjoyed some popcorn, hot chocolate, and hot apple cider in the warming house after a potty break.  (Don’t ask about the potty dramatics of a barely potty trained toddler while waiting in the car for 30 minutes.)  The potty break was the main reason why we parked and got out.

We walked around the entire park and it was all lit up (and choreographed to music.)

The kids enjoyed playing in the park at night.

Lauren asked Santa for a big playhouse and Jack asked Santa for “abahandjsananajshaana” (we’re actually still not sure.)  After Santa, we went to get in line for a horse drawn carriage ride, but missed it as they stopped at 9pm.  I guess there’s always next year.  This was a fun event and a nice way to take our minds off of the terrible tragedy of today.
