Trail of Lights

After a two year absence, the city of Austin has welcomed back the Christmas tradition known as the Trail of Lights. It's a fabulously festive, free event sponsored by various business around the city. Essentially every evening for one week, Zilker Park is transformed into a twinkling winter wonderland. We used to enjoy walking the dogs through the trail in years past, and knew that we couldn't let this year pass without taking our pint-sized decoration gawker. After letting the first couple of days pass, we finally decided to load August up in the stroller and join the masses for the short stroll down to the lights. Unfortunately this year, dogs aren't allowed, so the girls were forced to sit this one out. Despite seemingly fighting the rest of the city of Austin for a glimpse of the scenes, all three of us thoroughly enjoyed our evening in the park. Being able to witness August's enthusiastic reaction to the Where the Wild Things Are, Charlie Brown, and Hey Diddle Diddle scenes made the entire experience another priceless memory for the books.
