We went to a place called Bentleyville last night about a half hour away. Some guy has this love for Christmas lights so he started collecting them and putting them up in his yard. Eventually he opened it up to the public so people can come walk through and see the Christmas lights. They have free cookies and cider. They also have Santa there (for those whose children aren't terrified of him) and you can make s'mores around the fires. The whole thing is free. You park your car and take a school bus to the place and walk through. It's really cool and Sophia loved it - almost as much as Ben. To give you an idea of how many lights there are - they have over 600 snowflake lights put up in the trees.
It was quite the exciting night too. On the way home we decided to try to take a different way back. We ended up making a wrong turn and going through Proctor. Ben was so busy trying to figure out what went wrong that he didn't notice the 30 mph sign. He got pulled over for speeding but we prayed a lot and the guy didn't even give us a ticket! Needless to say, he won't be speeding anytime soon.

How exciting! My favorite part of your outing was the blankie that Caleb is using! Boy it looks cold up there. Yeah, it's so hot here we went swimming today. jk. It was reallly warm though.
Yeah, some cool people I know made that for Sophia. I should see if I could get them to make one for Caleb...or just get a sewing machine and do it myself!
