Last night, we began a tradition of taking the kids to look at Christmas lights. We had a difficult time finding the “Nature in Lights” park on Fort Hood. In our journey, we came upon this house where they decked the halls, doors, windows, roof, trees & the rest of the yard with boughs of Christmas lights. When our teenager said that he wanted his Dad to decorate our house like this, my husband’s response was, “I’ll pay somebody!”
{We still don’t have our lights out}
The park only cost $5 for the vehicle. Our 2-year-old was so excited!He was looking out the window waving to all the other cars.
Stinkpot really enjoyed driving us through the park!
A cute winter village.
And even a patriotic display.
However, after a while, as it got late, Stinkpot got cranky!
As we left the park, we had to drive through this crazy tunnel of flashing lights.
Next year, we will leave early & try to arrive around dusk. We left our house at 7pm & finally found the park around 8pm. It took around 30 minutes plus to wait in line to pay admission. After we actually got into the park, the drive was very smooth with only a small delay as we left the park.

We saw Frosty the Snowman.

With displays for about 5 miles,
it was after 10 pm when we finally left the park!

This was such a fun family Christmas outing, we’ll look forward to it next year.
