Festival of Lights

Wow! What happened to November? I apologize for not keeping up, and I have a million excuses. :-) I'll spare you the details, so let's just jump in to the most recent event.

Yesterday was the Festival of Lights in our little town and we had a family fun day! We like to go every year and as the kids get older and are able to do more things, it's just that much more fun.

Waiting in line for the snow hill.

Aren't they so cute riding together?!


Train ride.

Mommy and her kidlets.

Enjoying the requisite cotton candy and funnel cake.
*Not pictured - the two giant turkey legs. Sorry, didn't want to get the camera greasy. ;-)

After our snack, we went home to get ready to go back and watch the parade. Made a pit stop at Target and the bunny fell asleep in the store.
Of course I took photos!
There was an article in the Sunday paper about the festival. I was mis-quoted and everything! ;-) One of the funniest things about the article was how the reporter described the weather as, cold and blustery. It was about 55 degrees and windy, but the kidlets were warm enough in their hoodies. And the bunny, as we all know, is FOUR not THREE. ;-) Good thing she can't read, yet. She'd be setting that guy straight!

Here is the excerpt from my "interview."

Linda Harvey brought her two children bundled up in jackets. The children took several rides in sleds on the snow hill.

“It’s nice to play in it,” she said. “But it’s nice to not have to live with it.”

Harvey brings her children every year, regarding the festival as a celebratory beginning of the holiday season.

“This is the a kickoff to the season,” she said. “It’s a good family event.”

Harvey said she remembers bringing her daughter, Jordan, 3, to the festival for the first time when Jordan was 3 weeks old.

“It was her first time out” after she was born, Linda Harvey said.

And here's the link to the whole article.

Enjoy!
