Glow

There was a new holiday light show in Keizer called Glow. We piled in the van along with Lupe to go check it out. There were very few people there during our time slot so we enjoyed all of the lights and photo ops without any wait.

On the road again.

Chelatchie Prairie Railroad Christmas Train

In the fall, we were supposed to take a ride on the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad to see the Headless Horseman. That didn't work out so they traded our tickets for their Christmas train. We made the trip back up to Yacolt, knowing that we didn't want to ride outside. This time we got seats indoors for the trip. They took us to a fully decorated stop where we got treats and pictures with Santa.

Joce was enjoying herself.

Kathryn was happy on the train, too.

No matter what, Kathryn always ends up with a goat butt in her face.

Willamette Shore Christmas Trolley

The Oregon Trolley does an evening route in December to see the Christmas Ships. Tickets are hard to get because the trolley is small and only runs a few times through the season. I stumbled upon a woman who was selling her tickets so we grabbed them.
