Last weekend, we headed to downtown San Jose for Christmas in the Park.  S & K joined us as we walked around looking at different displays and hundreds of Christmas trees decorated by organizations, elementary school classes, boy and girl scout troops, etc.  There were food stands, an ice skating rink, picture taking with Santa Claus, a merry-go-round, ferris wheel, and other rides as well.  While we were there, a dance group was performing various routines to holiday songs.  It reminded me of my old dancing days; I keep telling myself to get back into it.

Here are a few of the displays that I snapped pictures of:

frogs

reindeer

Here are some of the Christmas trees:

look!  I am a Christmas tree!

I had a good time and really liked the frog display and taking pictures as a Christmas tree.  Everyone should definitely attend Christmas in the Park at least once, but it would probably be more fun for families with small children.  Oh, I almost forgot to mention; the event is free, and parking is free on weekends before 6pm and $2 flat rate every day after 6pm.
