Lake Farm Lights

We went to a local Lake Farm Country Lights. It was so much fun! We had an extra ticket, so Nathan, Mikey's friend, came with us. I also had LeNae and our friend Jessica come along - they were a lot of help and it would've been much more difficult without them.



We got to ride in a horse-pulled wagon to look at some Christmas lights that they had set up. The boys were mesmerized by the lights. This ride then took us to a barn where we got to pet some horses, pigs, sheep and cows.

They also had horse rides available for the kids. Here's the horse William rode:

Actually that was one of the horses that pulled our wagon. The boys rode ponies.
Grant spent the evening catching a ride on dad
We also got to go see Santa.
Mikey told Santa what he wanted, a Mac-truck table (sorry bud, sold out).
Roger didn't mention what he wanted Santa to bring. He just said, "yes, you Santa Claus". William was very excited to sit on Santa's lap.
Grant asked for more milk

Then, if the $5 admission didn't already go far enough, they had Santa's workshop where the boys got to choose a toy to build, paint, and take home.

To be safe, Roger and William wore safety glasses while putting their toys together


Here Jessica and I are helping the boys with their painting

I think LeNae got a little too dangerously close to the paint while helping Roger. Oh well, it's her jacket.

It was a very fun evening. The boys got to see a lot, and we got to see the boys experience so much wonder and awe. It really got us in the Christmas spirit.
