Sunshine & I took advantage of Daddy having a cold & not feeling well yesterday to head up to Callaway Gardens. We've toyed with the idea of getting an annual membership but since all military (active AND retired!) get in free, we've not had to pay.Like Fancy Nancy, we always look for the azure butterflies. This was the only one we saw.
Sunshine desperately wanted a butterfly to land on her hand & would walk around with her hand out in hopes of one doing so.Then she'd stand there. And stand. And stand.
They're getting ready for Fantasy in Lights! The Nutcrackers & Toy Soldiers greeted us as we drove into the park. Last year we went with several other families & had so much fun riding in the "Jolly Trolley" together. Everyone met up here, we had drinks/munchies/dinner & then went up to Callaway. This year, we're planning on going on the 26th as the weeks before Christmas tend to be hectic with various parties, shopping, school activities. Fantasy in Lights is one of my favorite new traditions that we've started for our family. The other is going to see The Polar Express at the Imax theater on post at the Infantry Museum on Christmas Eve Day. It's complete with a conductor who punches out each child's name on their ticket.
Too cute! Your Christmas traditions sound better than mine!!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of free, did you get my free Applebees email? And my free NPS email??
I did! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know the guest room is always open to you. Have you looked into that training in Feb??
I really wish we had made it to the Fantasy in Lights while we were there, it just never happened.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves Fancy Nancy. :) We have a railroad park here that does a version of The Polar Express. Each child gets to ride on the train and drink hot cocoa. Very cool. :)
