Snowflake Lane

Yesterday the boys opened their advent calendar drawer and found a note that explained that we were going to eat dinner and head over to Snowflake Lane in Bellevue http://www.bellevuecollection.com/SnowflakeLane/ with some fresh hot apple cider in a thermos.

There were drummers and men on stilts walking around a stage with people singing and dancing and a person dressed up like a snowman and one like a dog a lady in a princess outfit snowflake lights moving around and bright Christmas Colored lights shining onto the buildings. The best part was the snow machines. The boys couldn't believe it was real snow falling.  Rylan was convinced it was paper and Lee thought for sure it was made of  bubbles! 

One of  the ladies dressed like a fairy gave the boys a lollipop we were proud of them for not eating it right away and asking us if it was ok to take one from her. 

 Watching the snow fall. 

 Rylan was having a great time trying to stay away from the snowflake lights that were moving around on the ground. He would try to jump over them! 

 Lee with his hand out trying to catch some snow! He finally caught some and said it felt like a bubble! 

 The tall guy with the cymbals was walking on stilts! He stopped for a minute to have the boys jump up to give him a high five! They both were pretty proud they jumped high enough!

 Haha Lee was making some pretty cute faces. We call them "stranger danger" faces. Ya know since we tell him not to talk to strangers or take candy from strangers it was a little confusing!

 Haha here is another cute Lee face! 

I was pointing out a group of dancers and some more drummers that were drumming from inside a truck for the dancers.

Standing up where the drummers were after the show was over.

Afterwards since we were at the mall we decided to let the boys go inside and look around in GameStop for a little bit which of course they loved! The mall decorated the inside with some reindeer flying which both boys thought was pretty cool.  And Lee asked if he could try going on the escalators again on the way back to the car. He said, " I want to try and not be a coward this time!" I was surprised to hear him say that word. I assured him that he was just being cautious not really a coward! He tried again and did a lot better at it so he was proud of himself!
