A Trip to see the Festival of Lights

Nothing says Christmas in the Lowcountry like a trip to James Island County Park to see the lights. It gets better each time and this year was especially nice because it was the first year taking Cody & Abby. We drank hot chocolate and Cody had his first funnel cake....we decided to teach Cody to roast marshmellows next year - teaching him about burning things can wait a little longer!



It was rather cold and Abby was asleep, so she was nice and bundled up in her seat with only her eyes and nose visible from under the blankets. Cody rode in the front seat of the double stroller and loved the view. He called out the names of the shapes that he saw: "fish", "angel", "boat", etc. It was so cute! I think my favorite two were the Cooper River Bridges and the Charleston 9 lights.









We even stood in line to see Santa. Poor Clay was having such a hard time trying to hold Cody still in line for what seemed like 30 minutes or more - which is not easy to do when he has had sugar and it is way past his bed time. Once we finally got up to see Santa, Cody got shy and refused to sit on Santa's lap and clung on tight to my neck. So I got to go in the sleigh with Cody and Santa for the picture - Ho, Ho Ho! Can't wait to do it all again next year! : )
