2009-12-23: Christmas Lights and Gymnasium Flights

There were a bunch of houses in our area that advertised their Christmas lights setups. Some of them have been around for years. We got to see two of them this year. Below are pictures from the one with a HUGE train set that rain all around and through the front yard (both sides). We got there early and Anthony saw how the train cars were all set up and how they ran. .....The next day was cold outside, so we found some indoor places to play. We decided to take Anthony to an indoor gymnasium used by real gymnasts. The place is open two mornings a week for 1 to 5 year olds to run around and use. Anthony spent two hours there running, jumping, falling, diving and using their big swing that fits three kids at a time. He loved the huge foam pit where he could jump in to or swing over on a rope. Daddy got one hell of a work out wading through the foam pit trying to get little Anthony unstuck (about a hundred times). We both had a blast, and Anthony had the best nap ever after all that playing.

then falling 7 feet in to foam.
