Lights of the Ozarks

This weekend was all about Christmas! Friday night we drove around looking at lights in Benton County, then on Saturday we drove down to Fayetteville to enjoy the Lights of the Ozarks on the square. We went to eat at U.S. Pizza first. I got a salad for an appetizer and it ended up being Jackson's salad. I couldn't believe he was eating huge chunks of lettuce and loving it! After dinner we went down to the square and the first thing we had to do was go for a pony ride. After that was over, he saw the camels being unloaded and started running after them saying "I wanna ride camel!" He has a memory like an elephant! When Granny and PawPaw took him to the safari in Gentry this summer, he got to ride a pony and camel there, so he was so excited when he saw them. Of course, he didn't want to get off when the 60 second, 10 dollar ride was over. After a trip or two around the square, we made the trek by our old house in Johnson to look at the lights, but unfortunately there were only a couple of houses with lights on. I think it should be a requirement if you live on a street with a holiday-like name, i.e. Silver Bell Trace, you should have to put lights up! Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed looking at all the lights. It was a very fun evening for all of us!
