Our Christmas fun.
Each year we go to Bontanica and see all the Christmas lights. The kids just love seeing the lights and warming up by all the chimminegas. We take hot cocoa and cookies and sit down and enjoy them for a break from walking around about 1/2 through. (Saves $10 buying stuff there!) Usually it's $15 for all of us to get in. We don't normally spend much to do things but this is one we like to spend the money on.
A local bank was running a promo that if you signed up for a new checking account they would give you $50, plus a $10 gas card, plus 2 free tickets to the lights at the Botanica! What a deal! We signed up and got a new account, which we did need and were going to get anyway. We were able to enjoy Botanica 2 weeks ago for only $5 plus got an extra $60 to boot! Yeah!!
A funny side note. When mom was explaining to my grandfather what were going to see she said "Well, we are going to Botanica which is where they grow a lot of flowers but the flowers are dead right now so we are going to see a bunch of dead flowers with lights on them." LOL It's doesn't sound so glamorous when you put it that way! hehehe
Last weekend we went to Old Cowtown museum. It's an outdoor living history museum. Mike is doing a documentary for them because he needed it for a demo. (He's a video producer in case some of you didn't know.) Because he has put in so many hours they gave us a free season pass so we have been going for all their fun weekends. This weekend they had a Victorian Christmas and it was beautiful. It wasn't as entertaining for the kids so if we go next year we might just leave them with a babysitter and Mike and I just go but it was still fun.
BTW, Mike's video for them turned out great!! This was the one he was working on when he broke the camera. The TV station is going to air it in Jan. and next spring so if you're in Kansas be watching for it!
