Bentlyville

Bentlyville is billed as the largest free, outdoor, walkthrough lights display in the USA.  That is a lot of qualifiers but Bentlyville does not disappoint and everything you need for a great visit really is free.   Free hot cocoa, free cookies, free popcorn, free marshmallows to roast – they are just handing it out.   The only thing they charged for was apparel in the gift shop but fair enough.  We had a great time!   It was good the we went in the middle of the week – crowds were still intense, I’d hate to see the place on a weekend!

Posts’ Visit

Our first weekend back we hosted the Post family.   It was great seeing Lea Ann, Steven and the cousins, Nina and Sara.  

Night Sky Over Bass Lake

This was my first successful 360 picture of the night sky – previously only seen on facebook until I figured out how to get the 360 degree panoramas to display on the family site.   If there is another clear night this winter we will have another go!
