Our Texas Thanksgiving – Part 2 – Pratt, KS

After making sure Ollie was OK Our Texas Thanksgiving – Part 1 – Hays, KS, we headed 2 hours south to Pratt, KS to visit our nephew Jared and his family. It just so happened that the town of Pratt was displaying it’s annual Christmas display for the season’s first night on the day we were there. They did a beautiful job.

First, we went to the park in the daylight hours to see the day’s festivities, where Santa and one of his reindeer were greeting visitors.

Then we strolled around taking in the sights and letting the boys have some fun. There were lots of fun family activities for everyone to enjoy.

All six of us took a hayride around the park too.

It was still too light for the Christmas lights so we decided to go out to dinner first then come back for the lights later. We took Jared, Lexi and the boys out to dinner at Cancun Mexican Restaurant. The food was very good.

After dinner, we went back to the park to see all the Christmas lights. Pratt did an excellent job of lighting the parks up. One park was random and the other park had a theme of the 12 Days of Christmas. The Christmas displays were beautiful and very creative. These are just some of the highlights. I just love seeing all the brightly colored Christmas lights.

After driving around to see all the lights, the boys were tired, so we all went back to Jared and Lexi’s house for a fun family game night and presents. Both Gentry and Callen woke up again for presents and games. 🙂

We all had so much fun together. Next stop – a drive through Oklahoma before landing in Dallas for the night.
