Santa in November...

Not much to report earlier this week, park outings, sickies, cooler weather...  Friday night we took these:

 This was taken as we were getting ready to leave, found in the basement, an example of the plentiful and fearsomely large spiders they grow around here, this variety generally seems to reach at least 1.5 inches in diameter...

 What brought us out in the dark, a tree lighting event nearby...

 We took a carriage ride, pulled by a horse decked out in green sparklies, even down to the hooves...

 Queuing for S...

H, fearless creature that she is, appears to be much more at ease sitting in Santa's lap than I ever was, she told him she wanted "treats" for Christmas, Halloween's bounty is still fresh in her mind...
