The Summit Lights Up

Every year one of our local malls "Lights Up" and they have fireworks, Santa, Mrs. Clause, music, and lots of friends. This year the day before it was scheduled, there was a major fire in Reno destroying over 30 homes. It was fueled by terrible winds that destroyed the tree that was supposed to "Light Up". Soooooooo it was postponed for two weeks and, off we went.



Warming up by the fire pit.


Jared is having too much fun with his hat. :-)




Santa and Mrs. Clause was brought in by fire truck and escorted by The Police and the Sheriff Dept. They made their was down the long barricade, shaking hands and posing for pictures as they came. They were led by a group of children and their families from "The Children's Miracle Network". It was VERY cool.

Throwing out his magic dust to get the fireworks started.


I didn't get any good pictures of the fireworks. We were standing behind a light pole, you'll just have to trust me that they were cool. :-)





Stopping to take a picture.


Just one more great thing I love about his season!
