More Photos of Christmas "snow"

IMG_7591

so much to say and so little time, a lot has happened in the past few days but we are going to go back in time again to share it all in order. So you can see from the video in the last post that we went on a Christmas themed adventure. It was kind of chilly but Chance and I were brave and rode the streetcar to and from the house to see the "snow." Where we went was Miracle on Fulton Street which is a a block of one of the local streets that is closed off and completely decorated for the holidays.

IMG_7602On top of lights and trees they have a real gingerbread streetcar and trains and every hour it "snows." We set up a playdate there for everyone to enjoy. Since we had never been there before we weren't sure exactly what all this "snow" was about but we really wanted to find out.
IMG_7597Turns out the snow is really foam that rains down from the canopy every hour. The kids loved the lights and running around the trees but lost interest in the "snow" within a minute. It does look like real snow in the pictures though. It was fun but I am not sure if it satisfied our want to see snow this year so we will have to go in search of that a little later this season.

The first pictures don't really need captions but this last picture is Chance bundled up for the walk back to the streetcar, he has hijacked my gray hat, but it fits him and keeps his head warm so I don't mind.
