The Start of the Holiday Season

While Mimi Helle was visiting over Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to go see the beautiful display of lights at the James Island County Park.  It was a chilly night that started off with some hamburgers from Melvin's (Emeril Lagasse's voted them as his favorite cheeseburger).  Then it was off to the park.  The park offers over 500,000 lights stretched over a 3-mile drive.  Halfway trough, we stopped to enjoy some of the outdoor activities.  We toured some more lights, rode the carousel, and attempted to get a picture with Santa, or as Brayden calls him, Noah.  He has a little Noah figurine that he plays with in the bathtub that has a white beard and white hair, therefore making him think that Santa is Noah.  He said repeatedly on the way to the park, "sit on Noah's lap."  Well, he had different plans once we got into line.  As we approached the line to sit on Santa's lap, he through a royal fit until we got out of line.  Maybe next year?  Here are some of the fun pics we took while there:



Brayden thought that the Reindeer decoration was there for him to ride.
