Wow, what a night for Trail of Lights!

One needn't assume that just because someone does something fun and silly, that they must be drunk, teenagers or no. In fact, teenagers are more likely to do something fun when they aren't drunk than many adults are.

I'm glad there are other people who would rather think the best rather than the worst of people! True Texas Christmas spirit.

My daughter's Canadian SO is here for Christmas. She took him to the Trail of Lights and the Zilker Tree. Last night he said, "I thought you just meant that twirling under the Zilker Tree was something that you did from the time you were a kid. I didn't realize you meant that EVERYBODY twirls under the Zilker Tree!" He'd seen little kids, teenagers, middle-aged, old folks, all twirling under the tree. (He did, too.)

It's simply because it's fun. No other reason. What other reason does anyone need for something so harmless?

We took our 6 year told to see the Sun Chase Blvd cul-de-sac lights in Cedar Park. It was sooo cool. Highly recommended if you live north.
We didn't walk it because it was VERY cold Monday night, so it only took about 15 minutes to drive it.

Where is Sun Chase Blvd? I live in Cedar Park and would love to take the kids to see the lights.
