Oglebay's Festival of Lights

Tonight we headed out to the Festival of Lights. It was the perfect cold snow covered night to do it. For those that don't know, it is a huge light show. Some of the displays stay perfect still, others are animated, and others go in a sequence to create a scene. To read more about it go here http://www.oglebay-resort.com/fol.htm Our first stop however was one of the most awesome Mickey D's I've ever been too. It had a wonderful indoor playplace with an upper level for parties and plenty of space for seating on the lower level. The playzone was huge...the kids had a blast. So glad we went in and didn't just drive through. After ward instead of headed back onto I70 to go to the Olgebay exit we followed the signs that were off of our exit. (Just a hint for anyone that lives in my area and wants to avoid traffic that was backed up to the other side of the Wheeling Tunnel...do what we did) The way off of our exit took you up the other side of the hill so you approached Olgebay from the opposite direction. There was no wait! This is a big deal people the wait to get in can be 2+ hours. The kiddos loved it. You go about 2-5 mph so we let them sit up front with us so they could see better. They kept Ooo-ing and wow-ing. Lili even said tree for the first time. When we finished the tour we went to the garden of lights and walked around. It was a fantastically Christmasy winter wonderland evening. Enjoy the pics.

BTW, it was verycold. My husband left his coat at home. And sorry some of the pics were blurry....moving cars and such.
