Festival of Lights

Some friends invited us for dinner and a drive through the East Peoria Festival of Lights last week. I felt very lucky to get to ride in the car through this amazing Christmas display while watching the looks on the kids faces, rather than drive my kids through it and have to concentrate on the cars around me. What a great gift.



Jaxon's friend, Ethan, enjoying the light display.




Dakota having fun. She loved to point at the different displays and say, "Momma, Momma, lights".




Jax enjoying the light display. I asked him a few times what his favorite display was, and got a different answer each time. I think the trains, the monster truck, the chopper and the tractors were at the top of his list.




Jaxon's reaction to part of the display:




I tried taking a few pictures of the awesome displays, but my camera wouldn't focus that far in the dark. You can clink on the link above to take you to the city's website. On the link you'll find a video and photo gallery with some of the displays. It really is awesome.
