Sleigh Ride

Every year we take the kids to Thanksgiving Point were they have a horse drawn wagon ride through their Christmas light display. We dress the kids up in their winter clothes and out we go to freeze for a half hour but have a great time doing it. This year I got a little smarter and grabbed blankets for everyone. The sad part was that half the lights weren't working this year. So some of the displays had half a figure lit up. One wooden solider only had a hand waving and the big Santa at the end was half a Santa. But it was still fun all the same. Laine got the whole wagon to sing two of his favorite carols. Afterwords we went up and thanked the driver and the kids got to pet the horses that took us around. Then up by the water tower they had two live reindeer on display. They were holding one up to the gate so the kids could pet him. Chesney very carefully picked out some straw on the ground and tried to call the other reindeer over to eat. It didn't work but it was cute! Jaycie kept asking where Rodolph was. We kept telling her he was with Santa. It was a good time had by all.
