I really wanted to go to the Trail of Lights this year... I had it all planned out and got everyone really excited about it... The Trail was only open for a week this year and is probably the top attraction in Austin at Christmastime.
Here we are all excited before leaving...
We got about 5 miles from the Trail of Lights and the traffic was bumper to bumper in both directions. It was a madhouse. The shuttle lines were miles long (literally) and it was cold out so we didn't want to be standing outside for hours with the kids... so we decided to skip it. We were so disappointed. Lauren had fallen asleep on the way, so she didn't realize how close we came and then left so we went to downtown Round Rock and saw some lights... and got really excited about it!
The kids didn't care either way...but Lauren did remember that I had promised her hot chocolate, so we found a cute coffee shop and got hot chocolate and a treat.
There were about 8 people in the coffee shop enjoying a quiet Friday night listening to music when in we walk with our huge double stroller and two young kids... but who doesn't love footed-jammy wearing kids who just want to drink hot chocolate and dance to music. I think it made everyone's night to see these two cutie pies!
There was a couple playing live music and the kids really enjoyed listening to them. We even requested Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Lauren's face lit up that they played a song for her.
Colson danced around and made everyone's night with his adorable smile.
A few minutes after leaving...
too much fun!
