Horse Drawn Adventure

This past weekend we headed to Thanksgiving Point to check out the lights.


We went a little bit early because I wanted to get some photos for our Christmas cards, but my kids were a bunch of belly ache rs and would not cooperate, so we quickly abanded that idea.


My girls are always up for posing for mom.

I liked this one of Ashlynn, although it is a little out of focus.



While waiting for the lights to turn on we headed to the ice cream parlor for some Hot Chocolate


This isn't your ordinary Hot Chocolate. This is their Hot Chocolate float. MMMMM it so so yummy. They start off with Hot Chocolate add a scoop of ice cream (this cools it off just right)...add some whip cream, pecans and top it off with a Cherry. My plan was to just share with Karson. But he was not up for any of that nonsense. So I ordered my own. You MUST try one the next time you are there. And trust me you won't want to share yours with anyone either.

So it finally becomes time for us to head out to see the lights. We usually just drive through in our car, but this year we decided to take the Horse drawn wagon ride to see the lights. Not sure if we will be doing that next year. As you can see we were up close and "personal" to the horses. And apparently I am allergic to horses (along with Christmas Trees...and a whole list of other things). I was sneezing the whole way through the lights and by the end of our ride I was so stuffed up, my eyes were just an itching and I could not breathe. So next year I think it is back to the car. But it was a fun memory. Hoping to create many more memories, with my cute family.


Jingle all the Way!

What a fun idea! I didn't realize they did the horse/carriage rides there! That hot cocoa looked SO amazing... I may need to go hit that up -- sooN!

Wow I will have to try that Hot Chocolate!! It looked delicious. You look thrilled in that picture :) A horse ride sounded fun until you said it wasn't. I'm not allergic so maybe we will try it!
