Finishing it all out we had to walk around and enjoy the lights.



 The big addition to Silver Dollar City's Old Fashioned Christmas this year was the Joy on Town Square tree.



The eighty foot tall tree is covered with several hundred thousand LED lights that can be programmed to display whatever.



Every fifteen minutes or so the tree came to life with lights that can be seen all over the park that are set to music.  I have to geek out at the programming that goes into displays like this.  It would be fun to play with synchronizing music and images to create a show like this.



Unfortunately with every trip or weekend like this one it comes an end and everyone has to say goodbye and head on home.  This was such a special year for me getting to further share what I do with not just Bria and Aizak but Beth and Bob who all loved it.  I should gloat a little bit as for decades Beth made fun of me for being a coaster geek but now she has seen how amazingly fun it is.  I could give her tons of ribbing but I won't as it wouldn't be in line with the spirit of the Christmas season and I have so much fun with the four of them I want to encourage them to join me for more events and adventures.

Thank you to Silver Dollar City for the amazing weekend and to everyone who joined in all the fun.  I can't wait for 2020 to do it all over again.
