During the holidays, a generous friend from church gifted our family with tickets to Santa's Wonderland--a popular Christmas attraction we've heard so much about since moving here. Our family loved it and was so thankful we had the chance to attend. Santa's Wonderland is most known for its amazing light display. We rode on a hayride tour to see all the lights.
Of course, Texas always has to thrown in a bit of Texas pride! This display of the Alamo even appeared to have firing cannons moving across the battlefield. So cool!
The tour ended with a 3-part display showing Christ's birth, death, and resurrection. The hayride even stopped at this point to give visitors a full view of this display. I didn't capture a photo, but our family loved this great witness!
After viewing the lights, we found Frostbite Mountain where Texas brought in some REAL snow. The kids loved playing in the snow and throwing snowballs at each other. Daddy and the boys waited in a line to tube down a snow hill. Even though their wait was quite long, the boys ended with huge grins and said the wait was "totally worth it!"
We all needed to warm up after our time at Frostbite Mountain, so we enjoyed some yummy hot chocolate.
While finishing up our warm drinks, we found a cozy spot to listen to some live bands playing Christmas tunes.
Then, we visited another light display (this one was a walking tour only) that ended with a nativity scene.
The final attractions we visited were the haybale maze, the jumping pillows, and the "Texas-sized" gingerbread village.
There was so much to do at this Wonderland! We were impressed that our kids stayed happy the whole time, even though we stayed until after 9:00pm. All three fell fast asleep during the hour-long drive back home. What a great way to kick off the Christmas season!
