Santa, Penguins and Polar Bears...Oh My!

we went on a family trip to muskogee, OK yesterday...business trip for travis...we had such a great time. i really wanted to take olivia to see the "garden of the lights" display. we found out at the hotel that they actually had two light shows in town...the other was at "the castle". as we left the hotel we decided to go to "the castle" first. when we drove in i was thinking, "how cheesy"...it was a driving trail lined with nothing but Christmas blow-ups...any and everything imaginable. i have to say...my first impression was wrong...it was actually very magical...olivia loved it! i can't put into words how wonderlandish...if that's a word...it seems to look out in the night and see 100s...if not 1000s...of these lighted snow globes and characters...a must see again next year. at the end of the drive we parked and went into an actual castle. they had people dressed in medieval costumes greeting us at the door speaking with thick irish accents. inside...there was a gift shop, cafe', a Christmas movie playing, Christmas blow-ups for sale, and much more. we had a great time...unfortuantely...the next tour of lights dimmed in comparison. :)
