garden of lights

Every year, Brookside Gardens hosts an event called the Garden of Lights. They put on displays of lights that represent the 4 seasons of the year. So we decided to check it out while Uncle Jimmy was here visiting. My mom graciously stayed home with Josiah. (But if we decide to try to make it a yearly thing, then someone else will probably switch off and stay home next year.) =)

It was freezing the evening we went, but William really seemed to enjoy himself, being able to recognize some of the displays that were up. Of course, he loves being outside no matter how cold it is, so I’m glad he seemed to have a lot of fun. We went through the majority of the displays in a half hour and William wanted to stay out longer, but I was beginning to lose feeling in my extremities, so we bribed him with a yummy dinner. Next to being outside, William loves him some good eats. =) Here are some highlights of our time in the garden…

It’s a little hard to make out, but it’s a dolphin in the font and a decorated gazebo in the back.

Oops! Bill is hard to see since my hand was accidentally blocking the flash.
