Santa's Wonderland

Last night we ventured back to our old stomping ground, College Station. We went with two other families to take the kids to see Santa's Wonderland. Garrett and I went when we were in college, but not since and we were blown away.

Santa's Wonderland is on 36 acres and has over 2.5 million Christmas lights. We didn't just drive through the lights, we went to Santa's Town also. It was filled with fire pits, stores, hay bales, singing, snow and, of course, the jolly old man himself. We had no idea that Santa Town even existed, we just thought we could drive through all of the lights. So, we were very pleasantly surprised.

After being in Santa's Town for a while we took a hay ride to see all of the lights. The temperatures had dipped into the forties and it was way passed bedtime, so I was a little concerned how the boys would handle our little excursion. They did great!!! The boys, especially Jack, had a blast. It took Blake a while to take everything in and he got very sleepy but the longer we were there, the more fun he had.

I kind of went crazy with all of the pictures, so let me apologize ahead of time.


Jack was ready to get down and run around.

Can you see Santa waving at the boys? Cutest. Thing. Ever!!!!

Blake's eyeballs were as big as saucers when he saw Frosty; meanwhile Jack was giving him high-fives.

Jack loved climbing on the hay bales and running on them. He fell a ton, would say "uh-oh" and climb right back up.

Blake is just trying to take it all in.

"Can I eat the hay Mommy?"

Blake and Garrett playing in the "snow".

Jack loved the "snow".

Sleepy Blake.

One of these days he will realize that his dimples are a real lady-killer, but he has to smile for all the ladies to see them. :)

On the hayride, ready to see the lights.

Jack and Garrett looking at the lights. Yes, that is still "snow" on his back.

We thought that Blake was going to fall asleep when we got on the hayride, luckily he perked up.

The boys LOVED the lights.

"Look at the cool lights Mama!"

Blake is clapping for the lights.

Finally, Blake is happy!

Santa's Wonderland is a bit pricey and a little bit of a drive but it is worth every bit of it!! We are going to start making this a yearly tradition!
