Off to the races!

Time for our annual trip to Portland International Raceway to see the Christmas light display! The kids look forward to this one so much, I think more for riding in the car without a seat belt than the actual lights out the window. ;)


Look at them, reveling in the glory of being unrestrained in the car!




They are such great kids, I love building memories with them like this. We popped in the Christmas music CD that they give you at the start of the racetrack, and slowly wound our way around taking in all the beautiful light displays. We saw reindeer and bears decorating trees:


Penguins ice skating around an igloo:


The twelve days of Christmas:




Santa's elves:


Pretty drive through wreaths and so much more. We are already excited to go back next year, because we heard that they have a doggie walk night where instead of driving your car, you can walk through with your pooch. That should be a new and interesting twist on our yearly visit to the racetrack!
