Outside Blog #2/Christmas Town

The park opens at 3 pm. A huge crowd was forming at the gate; the day was chilly but the sun was shining and we were ready to rock some rides.We had a couple of hours of daylight to ride some of the rides,we sipped hot cocoa, then starting to watch the seemingly-millions of lights begin to twinkle while my aunt and cousin headed off to Alpengiest. We got something to eat after that. We headed to one of their special Christmas shows, “Miracles.” Even though my cousins were a little antsy, the show with it’s ivory-clad dancers and amazing voices was pretty awesome and a nice treat to sit for a few moments after walking the park. We made sure to hit all the good points to impress the little ones. Carolers and bands, many clad in period-dress, serenaded us going by, and the lights were something I’ll try to share here, but you really have to experience for yourself. In fact, the kids had a ball just playing hide-and-seek in-between some of the hundreds of decorated trees.
