Jerrod had to go out of town for work, so Bocca came up and we went to Silver Dollar City to see the Christmas lights and have some fun! For the Christmas season they put up over 4 million lights! The kids love coming here and since it was so early in this season it wasn't terribly crowded!
The first thing we did was watch the Frosty show. During the show they invited the kids to come up onstage and watch. Owen went up, but Logan was being very shy and did not want to go up. Treyton was strapped down in the stroller! We were in the front row though, so they still had a great view. During one of the songs in the show they had the kids close their eyes and it started snowing on them. It was really neat. Logan wouldn't go on stage, but I did get him to pose with the fake Frosty outside!
Next we went to get in line for the Charles Dicken's A Christmas Story play. I knew from last year people really line up to get in there, so we wanted to make sure we were over there. We picked up a funnel cake and snacked on it while we waited. We all enjoyed that! There were also a lot of lights to see while we waited!
The actually play was fantastic! We got to sit up close for it too! We really enjoyed it. And at the end of this play - more snow! This snow didn't just snow on the stage - it snowed over the audience too! The kids really liked it!
After the play we had to ride the train! The boys were really looking forward to it. We went last year, and the line for the train was over an hour so they weren't able to ride it! Luckily without the big crowd this wasn't a problem. The train was covered in Christmas lights and they played Christmas carols. It stopped and you got to hear the story of the birth of baby Jesus and they had a Nativity in lights. It was all very pretty.
It was getting pretty late by this point, but the boys wanted to ride some of the rides. We went to the little kiddie area and rode the roller coaster, the flying elephants, the teacups and the swings! It was late and cold and we were the only people on all 4 rides! It was a really fun time and the boys all crashed on the way home!
