Blossoms of Light

Nate asked me if I wanted to be adventurous on Friday night, and my answer was unequivocally "no". When he told me this adventure involved walking around the Denver Botanic Gardens and looking at Christmas lights, I quickly changed my mind. I am pretty fortunate that this is his idea of an adventure.


We went to the Blossoms of Light  and bought the 3-D glasses that make every lightbulb look like a snowflake (I wore them all the way home- stop lights and tail lights were automatically festive).  Maybe it wasn't completely worth the $20 we spent, but it was fun to see the gardens at night and it was nice to do something Christmasy.

 

This picture was a long time in the making- when we were posing, a tiny toddler ran in front of us. Then he grabbed my hand. I thought it was because of the teacher-vibe I cast, but it turns out I was dressed exactly like his mom.  When he figured out I wasn't family, he screamed and ran away. At least we didn't have to Photoshop him out of the picture.
