A coupke of weeks ago, on Mama's Birthday, she and Daddy went out ALONE on a DATE!
First they went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory(one of Mama's favorites).....
...and then, Daddy took Mama to see the River of Lights. Set up at the Botanic Gardens, along the Rio Grande River, the River of Lights has every kind of light display!
(You might remember the pawrents went there LAST YEAR too)
From Zebras.....
To butterflies, the lights were just spectacular!
All of the lights are so very colorful!
Mama put a video together. Watch until the end to see the cool model train footage!
(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)
The pawrents got to see BIGFOOT....
...and DINOSAURS!!!
Mama says the creativity put into this light display every year is amazing. Last year they saw similar lights, but set up in a very different way!!
I bet you are surprised to hear the Model Trains were Mama and Daddy's favorite exhibit. lights, along with the different way the villages were decorated, were stunning!
Needless to say, Mama really enjoyed her birthday evening.
Don't worry, we made sure she got lots
of birthday snuggles from us when she got home.
Thanks for tagging along to the River of Lights this year. Mama is already looking forward to next year's display!

What fun and the lights are so beautiful and festive!
ReplyDeleteThose are super cool lights, especially the animals and stuff. Our zoo has lights but Mom has never gone to see them.
ReplyDeleteOh Rosy my adorable Elfin niece. First happy belated bday to your sweet as sugarplums Mama.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Dad for being such an excellent event planner. And thank you for the reminder of the beautiful river of lights. WOW
Hugs AC
now this is a way to celebrate, I would have loved every moment. there are so many that I thought, this is my favorite. the train is adorable and I think I leaned towards all the sea critters and I laughed at the alien spaceship and wondered if there were any REAL drones. Ha Ha. bet you would not see them if they were hovering.
ReplyDeleteits a gorgeous place. Jungle Gardens and Selby Gardens here have these light shows, but I have never seen them...
What a wonderful date. Wow. I would have loved seeing the river of lights in person. Your dad knows how to make mom feel special.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to you both and my very best to your peeps. ♥
What a fun way to spend your birthday. Did they bring back any cheesecake to share with you girls? We love seeing the light display and all the creativity that went into it.
ReplyDeleteYou look like you are going to Elton John's Christmas party
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful display! Also, you look great in your costume.
ReplyDeletePlease wish your mother many happy returns of her birthday from me.
I went to Albuquerque once and have always wanted to go back and spend more time there.
Happy birthday to your Mom. What a special night for her and for your Dad. the light show was spectacular and we loved seeing the train.

Those likes are amazing and what a fun night out. Belated Happy BIrthday to your Mom from all of us.
ReplyDeleteRosy, those light displays are spectacular! The dino on is a little teeny bit scary, though. We're all glad your Mama had a good birthday. Oh, did she eat lots of cheesecake? XOX Xena
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Wow, you have a whole zoo made out of lights there! We have big zoos here too but they are not nearly that bright!"
