The other day we went to Winter Wonderland at Petco Park with my parents and sister. It is basically a festive carnival type event that takes place on the baseball field with hot chocolate, carousels, slides, train rides, and sledding. It is so fun to see the park decorated with so much holiday spirit! The first thing we did was of course try and snap a few hundred pictures with the trees, reindeer, and ice princesses. Then it was straight to the sledding slide. Highlight of the night! We all grabbed a tube and headed up the stairs to the top. The fun about to ensue was not expected by any of us. I put Giuliana in my lap and off we went down the ice bank. Oh my gosh, what a short little thrill! Giuliana was so excited when we got to the bottom that she immediately said she wanted to go again. She definitely got my thrill seeking bug and love for roller coasters and the like. I took her again later in the night and filmed a video on the way down which was even more exciting because we ended up spinning around and went down the slide backwards. She loved it. We also took pictures with the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who (clearly she's more interested in the blinking ring on her finger) and she went on the train with Karl. It was so fun and I can't wait to take her again next year. Since we don't really have seasons here in San Diego, it is always nice to partake in really festive events.
We also took Giuliana to look at some local Christmas lights recently and while it was also fun with her, it started pouring rain so we had to take cover under garage awnings which was an exciting twist to the night. There was a Santa at one house and she began to go up to him and then changed her mind. Clearly that is why the picture is blurry! Hoping we can get a proper picture with the big guy soon, but I will also be ok with her crying on his lap. Those are classic! Other than that, we've been getting ready for Christmas being that it is ONE WEEK away. I have no clue how that is possible, but I'm pretty sure this happens every year. Can't wait to see how she likes opening presents this year :)
