Corpus Christi at Christmas time

We went to Corpus Christi last Saturday. Warm and overcast day so the outside photos are a bit dark and dreary...



Once again trying for photos of the Carousel at the Padre Staples mall ( I think), there are two malls in Corpus. Krissy they took your feather dusters off the horses, LOL.

Christmas tree over where Santa's chair was at near the Carousel.

Michael riding the Carousel.
I was more or less trying to play with my camera. I really hate using the flash as it washes everything out....so some photos are dark and others way too bright. I also got a bit dizzy while on the carousel with Michael, LOL. Fred said he got dizzy just watching us....

This years theme was "The Polar Express". They had this train set up near Santa.
We couldn't get Michael to go near Santa. He wanted nothing to do with him. I tried for a photo of just Santa but it was pretty dark and I was to far away. They make it so you can't even see or get near Santa if you don't pay...grrrr....He was a cute Santa though and looked like he had a real beard too and even a red suit, YEA! He was waving at the kids and seemed like a jolly old fella!! At least he wasn't wearing flannel pj's like our Santa at the Victoria Mall does, LOL.

Michael and Fred in one of the stores shopping, oggling and playing!! Michael found a dragon puzzle, cool Mamma!! And then they found a pin-ball game, Oh BOY!!

Michael with dark circles under his eyes checking out the beds, LOL...Nap time perhaps?
Okay instead of "Where's Waldo?" We have Where's Michael? We played a lot of where's Michael that day, ugh!!
