Christmas at Shoreacres 2009

There's nothing quite like the lights at Shoreacres State Park. They are gorgeous. We went last night because Riley was singing Christmas carols with her Girl Scout troupe.
Here she is next to her buddy Rosie getting ready to sing in the pavilion. It was a clear night, but very cold, low 30's to high 20's...on the Coast that is beyond cold.

Another view of another part of the park. It's just breath taking. Volunteers come out every year & help string the lights.
Inside the gardener's cottage they had this beautiful Christmas tree all decorated.

Here is the view from the front window of the gardener's cottage.

Michelle loves the purple lights.

OOOOh, spooky story time!

They have a lot of lights in the form of animals. There are these frogs, that ribbit when you walk by. There is also an animated lighted frog that "jumps" into the pond. There is an animated Orca that "jumps", some animated sea lions that "jump" off a rock into the water, a grey whale that shoots a spout of water, several different butterflies, some turtles, a dragonfly, a worm, grasshopper, several types of fish, puffins, etc.

There's clusters of lights on bushes like this one that kinda look like flowers.

And our favorite, the lighted version of the crane statues that are in the pond. We had a lot of fun at the lights last night despite the cold.
