Lights - Part 1

We headed to our local botanical garden's Gardenfest of Lights on Tuesday. The weather was a bit crisp, but surprisingly, Carter didn't protest when we put on his hat, a blanket, and gloves. Couldn't believe it.



There were lots of pretty lights - more than a half a million according to their website - and it was really fun to watch Carter take it all in.



In the children's area they turned the pathways between some garden plots into a maze of lights. We let Carter out of the stroller and he had a blast chasing Adam through the maze and then being chased right back.



There was also a pathway of trees that were lit in all different colors and the lights would slowly blink on and off. Whenever they blinked off, Carter would say/sign "More, Please." So cute.



As we were leaving, I couldn't resist a shot in front of the blue trees, and Adam apparently couldn't resist his rendition of Elvis' "Blue Christmas."



Tonight we are headed to the downtown illumination - more unsteady lights pictures to come.

Happy Holidays and Happy Friday!!!

  1. I can only imagine how pretty the botanical gardens would be at Christmas time. Looks like my little buddy was happy to be bundled up.
