Christmas in the park 2011





I was extremely excited for Christmas in the park this year and it turned out to be a disappointment. There wasn't much to see and it was my fault for expecting it to be this GREAT thing i guess. . . But the hot chocolates were $3 for a small and it was alright~ Christmas in the park is aimed more for families with little kiddies and couples~
