Christmas Activities

We have been busy with many Christmas activities. The other night we went to the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, MA for their Zoolights celebration. We usually go before Christmas, but it was much less crowded after, which was nice. The night was also quite warm, we didn't even need hats and gloves. The zoo is covered with lights, Frankie liked touching them. : ) It is like walking in a wnter wonderland. There are some animals on exhibit, including reindeer. There are a few small kiddie rides and a section with a mini trian village, storybook character display, etc. The kids really enjoy it every year!
There is also a great lights display in Millis, MA. You can drive your car through the owner's property, quite large. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get through, stopping to look at everything. The weekends can get quite busy, the weeknights are better.
We also went, last week, to the Bass Pro Shop, in Patriot Place, Foxboro. We had been there before the holidays and it was fun for the kids to see animal statues, an aquarum, climb on the boats, etc. But for Chrstmas, they had a Santa's Wonderland, complete with Santa, crafts, decorations, etc. The kids got to see Santa and the picture was free!
I am hoping, this weekend, we can still make it to Edaville's Festival of lights. We have been to the park in the summer/fall, but the lights diaplay sounds very beautiful and fun for the kids! I will let you know if we go.
