Christmas at Botanica Garden

While Mom Pratt, Faith, John, and Autumn came up to visit us for Thanksgiving, we decided to get into the "Christmas Spirit". John, with his "nifty" phone, found some of the local holiday events that were happening in Wichita, and we made our plans. One of the things we did was attend the "Festival of Lights" at Botanica. It was a chilly evening, but so worth it!
Clara absolutely loved the Butterfly Garden! She was so excited that she found "her blue tree". We entered the Candy Cane Garden and to our surprise saw . . . SANTA!!!!!! James couldn't take his eyes off him. Clara's goal was to get a candy cane from him and get out! She really was unsure about him, which is weird because in past years, she would run to him every time she saw him! Here are some beautiful lights that we were able to capture. The entire garden looked like a vineyard. So awesome! After we froze ourselves outside, we went inside to taste the delights. Chocolate "Mouse" anyone?! Beautiful, hand-crafted candy canes! Had to take a picture!We really had a lot of fun. Dale and I plan on making this a Holiday Tradition!

  1. As part of your tradition, does that mean we get to come up and visit with you guys every holiday?
