We met up with my parents at Riley's farm last night for a special event they do at Christmas time. They serve dinner and have a play of the Christmas Carol.We left Bryson with some friends. I knew he'd be too much of a handful. The food was so good. When we got there they had some soup, cider and hot chocolate out. It was pretty cold, so we got some soup first. The cast members were out wandering around in costume and in full character. Several times the boys were scolded by Scrooge to turn down their lamps because they were wasting the oil. They thought this was hilarious. After our soup, we got hot chocolate before we went our for our hayride around the farm. A couple of the cast members were there too and led us in singing carols during our ride.
After our ride it was time for dinner. Everything was delicious.
The play was great too. They did it in vignettes, so at each break they had some different kind of activity. One of the things we did was dance. They taught us some dances from the time period. I wasn't sure how the boys would react to this. At first they were embarrassed, but after a while they were totally into it.
It was the best night. We definitely plan on making this a tradition and having more family join us.
