Busch Gardens Christmas Town

It's the most wonderful time of the year! We decided to start the Christmas season off with a bang and head out to the opening evening of the Busch Gardens Christmas Town. This is the first year that Busch Gardens has opened the theme park for the Christmas season, and we thought that it was great. Luckily the rain/sleet mixture blew through about 15 minutes before we got there. Although it wasn't wet, it sure was cold for this Texas family!!! We were very happy that the winter coat that we ordered for Trenton came in the mail today!

We started off at the North Pole to visit Santa. Trenton wasn't really excited about Santa Claus, but at least he didn't cry!!!

Our next stop was Das Festhaus in Germany for the Deck the Halls show. The show consisted of a lot of singing a dancing to the classic Christmas songs we all grew up with. Frosty the Snowman even made an appearance for the show (I missed a picture of him though)!

Trenton was annoyed that I was interrupting the show to take a picture of him!

Did you know that penguins live in France? Neither did we! After Deck the Halls, we marched on to France to see if we could catch a glimpse of these penguins. When we arrived in France, the wait was over an hour to see the penguins, and since it was now dark and even colder, we decided that the penguins would have to wait until our next visit to Christmas town. No penguins are worth catching a cold over!!! Trenton and Daddy were able to catch a picture with the French snowman though!
