One of my favorite things about
Diciembre are the
alumbrados that are pop of everywhere. Since I’m sure that it is in Sofía’s genes also, we decided to take her to a park that boasts to have elaborate moving
alumbrados. It was a hike and of course entrance doesn’t begin until when the sun sets around 5:30pm. We trapsed out to Bull Run Park to see this awesome Navidad light display. I’d been saving the discount coupon for over a month! We packed Sofía a
lonchera so that she wouldn’t be famished when we arrived late for dinner.
What a disappointment. It would have been a disappointment had it been free and next door to my house. Disappointment isn’t the proper word…farse is way better. But no more negativity, we made the best of it. After the
alumbrados they had a little
carnaval. It was a pleasant surprise and even in the 25 degree weather, we had fun. Sofía and
Papi played a “
pato” game where she could pick up the
patos as they floated by and win a prize. And alas, the evening was vindicated when we saw a much loved and coveted,
CARRUSEL!!
