Garden of Lights














Thursday night we ventured out to the Botanical Gardens to their "Garden of Lights."  The entire place is covered in lights, lights wrapped trees, lights hanging from tree branches, and lights around bushes.  It's really neat!  It was packed, so Parker didn't get to walk as freely around as he's done before when we've been there during the day, but he still enjoyed himself.  Hannah was a little fussy for about the first hour, then she calmed down for a while.  Even though the kiddos did not fully cooperate like I had hoped, we still managed to have a good time.

Looking at some lights wrapped around the trees on the canopy walk.
This isn't the greatest picture, but it was the only picture I got with the kiddos.  You can't really tell, but Hannah was really "testing her vocal cords" during this picture - hah! 
Some of the pretty trees lit up in the garden. 
Snowflakes hanging from high in the trees! 
Checking out the cool Christmas tree on top of a pool.
These were cool - they were set to music, so they would change colors and "dance" with the music that was playing - it was really neat! 
Parker was intrigued! 
Enjoying the light show from a better view! 
At this point, we had been at the garden for about 2 hours and it was past Parker's bedtime, so he and Hannah were both tuckered out.  I was holding Hannah, so we put Parker in the stroller and headed for the exit.
