Trail Of Lights


We made it to the Trail Of Lights again this year, figuring this would probably be our last chance, at least for a while. We thought that Quin would be completely ecstatic about it, considering he loves looking at Christmas lights on houses and goes totally nuts when he sees them, but I think he was actually a bit overwhelmed. Perhaps there were just too many lights, or maybe there were too many people, or all of the music and sounds were just too much. Regardless of the reason, he wasn't quite sure what to think, although by end he did end up having fun. Once we hit the last few displays, he realized that all of the lights were pretty cool and he was laughing and bouncing around in his stroller.
Maybe in a few years we can make the trip back to Austin around Christmas time and Quin will get to see them again. Who knows, maybe there is something cool like this around Fort Collins. Besides, looking at lights in Colorado will be a better Christmas package, complete with snow and cold weather. Doesn't it seem a bit wrong to be looking at Christmas lights in short sleeves?

We went last night. Sagan was pretty interested for the first half, but I think we all got a little bored and tired after that. Still, it was worth the trip. Hopefully you'll all be back to visit in the coming years!

Yes - we ended up going Saturday and that was a bbbrrr night. Sweaters, coats, gloves and still had numb fingers. Still a good time in the crazy TX weather!
