McAdenville Lights

For YEARS, like since 1997, Nathan has said he should take me to the lights at McAdenville any time we have driven to Kings Mountain during the month of December.  On the 23rd, he decided it was time to go.  Probably not the best idea to go on the weekend before Christmas.  I think it is about a 35 minute drive from our house, and with a quick stop at McD's for dinner, it took us about five hours.  The kids watched two DVDs in the car just waiting to get to the lights.  But once we got there, Amelia perched right here, and didn't get down until the end:

 A lot of people walk the route, and we will do that next time, but that wasn't an option for us because Seth was too sick.  The businesses and houses along the route even have photo ops along the way.  Next time I will bring my good camera.  These pictures are all from my phone.

Seth stuck his head out of the sunroof long enough to see what all the fuss was about, but he quickly sat back down in his seat.  Amelia greeted all the walkers with a spirited "Merry Christmas" and actually cried when she realized we had reached the end of the route.
