Winterhaven

Winterhaven 2012

Here in Tucson there is an entire neighborhood called Winterhaven

(it's even written on the street signs--a historic area)

and for a few nights in December the neighborhood is blocked

off from cars so people can walk around and enjoy the Christmas lights.

The first picture is of "snow" aka a bubble machine that appeared to look like

snow. This was the biggest hit with the kids. We went with a couple other families

in the ward and had a fun time. This was the only night we have worn coats in AZ.

And actually, it was a bit chilly-I should have worn a warmer coat.

At Winterhaven you can experience:

*Decked out houses with Christmas lights and blow-up figures 

(seriously--who invented those eye sores??)

*Santa & Mrs Claus. Talmage was terrified of Santa this year every time he saw him

*Food trucks with hot chocolate, popcorn, and other goodies

*You can take a hay ride pulled by horses (we just walked)

Come visit us next December and we'll take you to Winterhaven!
