Christmas Family Fun

Do you like going and looking at Christmast lights as much as I do? I, personally, LOVE this, and it seems the older I get the more I enjoy it. I love taking my kiddos to look at Christmas lights. We turn the radio on to Christmas music and carol away as we drive and look for Christmas lights. We JUST did a small drive the other night and wound up finding a pooch and returning him to his rightful owner. That was kind of a neat lesson to teach our kiddos, as they are new "pound puppy" owners.

Anyway, if you are in the mood to check out Christmas lights in and around Spokane. Just go on over here via The Spokesman Review and get addresses (these addresses are submitted by Spokesman-Review readers) and you can even map it out, if you would like. They have it broken down to the different areas in Spokane (South Hill, Valley, North Spokane, etc). One other cool thing about this page is that they give a short description of what is displayed at each particular address.

**Of note, you probably will have to stand in line quite a while, so make sure you dress SUPER warm. I would even take some blankets and whatnot, wear two pairs of socks and warm shoes too. I froze my behind off last year, because I didn't dress warm.

 

These are just a few things you can do. If I run across anymore, I will share. If you have any suggestions, please share with us.

 

Thanks!
