Nellie invited us to go to Luminaria with her and Robert this year. It was nice and warm... during the day it was 45* so it was a perfect night for it. Despite two of our four starting with tired/angry days, we had a great time. We'd never been to this before, so it was fun to see the gardens all lit up.
These tulips were my favorite.

I think this tunnel was my favorite of the 4 tunnels.
This part was neat. If you step on the disks, they change color. We tried seeing how many we could get to change to white at the same time.
The Light the World Garden was pretty. I always liked the wispy tall grass around it, but the floating lights was a perfect addition.

Evelyn's turn taking pictures.
Ada's turn taking pictures
The kids loved the xylophone. Especially Sam. A little girl stayed to have a turn with it and didn't realize that her family had left. We helped her catch up and she was relieved.
Seth was stoked that there were reindeer!
There was some neat shadows that I wanted to see what we could do.... Ada was tolerating me taking her picture and said, "Hey Mom, look. I'm a Vogue model." She made the most serious face. It was funny and I took her picture. This is her making faces at me and standing right next to it.
The kids called this the D20.
This is the lighting when the d20 is spinning because Seth is spinning it.
This is when it's held still and Ada isn't right next to it.
The biggest tunnel. Evelyn said that it felt like we were walking through the end credits.
There was a scavenger hunt. Sam did it with Seth.... Seth was so excited about it. He found all the letters.
