The Fantasy of Lights is a fantastic tradition of holiday lights in motion put on every year by Alum Creek state park. My children and I enjoy our time here every year. This year was no exception.
The lights seem to dance to the holiday music we play on the radio as we slowly drive our Jeep through this beautiful display. The joy on my boys faces as they point out the little tufts of smoke coming out of the chimney of a house of lights the best part of the night for me. Watching as they discover lights really can dance, and ginger bread men can somersault over the road. Reindeer bobsled down a hill and Santa successfully glides off the ski jump. Magic truly exists here in the eyes of my children.
After enjoying the display of twinkling merriment we made our way into Santa's Shop for hot chocolate and a cookie. A visit with Santa and a picture to commemorate the evening left my boys with high hopes for their Christmas wishes. We purchased some adorable ornaments at a reasonable price and enjoyed looking at all of the holiday gifts the shop had for sale. We topped off the night with an ice cream treat and my youngest fell asleep on the way home. A perfect family night with memories that will last a lifetime.
