Christmas Light Adventure

It's tradition that a few days before Christmas we drive around looking at all the Christmas lights.  Normally I plan out a very detailed map with a loop of light locations gathered from different websites.  This year we went a bit more seat-of-the-pants.  We decided to go to see the big display (35 minutes from the house) and depending on how that went try to hit some displays on the way home.

We packed into the car with our "Reindeer Chow", drinks, neighbor/daughter and headed out. 

The first stop was awesome with a 30 minute show of lights choreographed to music.  We then walked around the quaint downtown (in a different year I'm sure we would have enjoyed some of the shops but we just needed to find a place we could use the bathroom without being masked up) and then took a cute photos at the gazebo.

Then the adventure began. We managed to make it home about four hours after we left.  This  was a new Otto record of Christmas light searching but we had so much fun singing along to our favorite Christmas songs we hardly noticed the time.

The best though were our lights put up by the kids (notice Chris and I have nothing to do with them and that's his favorite part).
