Splashing it up at the Domes

Over Thanksgiving weekend, we paid a visit to the Mitchell Domes to check out the holiday setup in the special events dome and to give Jonah some opportunities to go "outside(!)" without actually being outside.

First stop was the "holiday dome." The setup this year was disappointing in comparison to previous years. It was pretty much a lot of poinsettias with a little bridge and a couple Christmas trees. It was nice enough, but it felt a lot more barren that past setups.

We made the mistake of bringing in the stroller for Jonah. Once we pulled him out of it, all he wanted to do was push it!

"I don't need anything but this stroller to have a good time!"

We hid the stroller behind a coat rack when we left the holiday dome.

They had an old time sleigh, but it was tough to get Jonah to sit.

We couldn't get Jonah to sit by this Santa, either.

Ho Ho Ho!

I suppose I can't blame him...

In the Arid dome, there was a big ball hanging from the ceiling that captured Jonah's attention for the most part.

The best part of the visit, though, was in the Tropical dome after Jonah had his snack. There was a puddle on the ground, and he had some fun splashing around in it. Michelle was able to capture a little video.
