We drove down for the evening, all prepared. By prepared, I mean that Daddy had his "No Fear" soundtrack all ready to go, complete with appropriate songs like "Ghostbusters," "Thriller," and "Scooby Doo." Mommy was more practical: she brought everyone along some marshmallows on a stick to roast on their open fires they have set up (that alone saved us $20!). Also, she brought a gallon of apple cider and some cups - which was brilliant, actually.
Madison loved that apple cider. You should have seen her gulp it down! She had this cup and it looked surgically attached to her face, as she kept sipping all the apple cider away. When she was finished, here were her words: "More please!"
The lights were good. They were nowhere near as numerous as the Christmas lights they put up - in fact, some of the lights we saw this time around are used in their Christmas presentation. The "Wizard of Oz" lights come to mind. Elsewhere, certain displays are converted from festive and jolly ... to macabre. The elves are no longer tossing presents, and I'll just leave it at that. Fortunately, there isn't too much of that, as there were quite a few bats and pumpkins lighting up the night.
It was a fun evening to get together with the family, and soon it was time to head back home. It's not something we would do every year, but we all did have a good time together.
