Christmas in Grapevine, Texas

Grapevine decorates their main street for Christmas so beautifully. It was a wonderful place to visit. We walked up and down looking at all the shops and taking pictures with various statues along the way. We took a ride in the horse-drawn carriage and bought fresh kettle corn from the street vender. That was delicious. We had to get a large one to take home with us. The tree in the main square was huge and amazing when lit up after dark. The kids had a lot of fun playing Freeze Dance with the Santa on stilts. That was a site to see. He was on those stilts for hours without a break. I don't know how he could take it. He was a humorous guy who remembered all the children's names. When we were walking back through after we had been gone a couple hours, he called out, "Merry Christmas Garrett and Cameo and Seighan!"

We went to Bass ProShops and rode the carousel, ran the RC cars around the track and had a great time looking at boats and all the outdoor gear and the display animals. Garrett loved looking at the fish in the large tank.

I can honestly say I have never seen this before: a "baby-kini". We found this in pink shop just for girls 6 and younger where they have tea-parties and all kinds of little girl fun.
Fun with the Santa on stilts.
