We went to the lighthouse for the luminary tonight. This is an annual event with music, booths, and free admission to the light house. Our first time 11 years ago was right after we bought our home (halloween 2011). G was 6, M 4 and lP 1. It was crowded and I remember trying to nurse lP in some corner. We had gotten into the car in the garage and didn't realize it would be colder on the island. I can't think why we would have even gone that night, but we did.
M, lP and B have sung in the children's choir there for the last 7 years. Last year was the first time I climbed the lighthouse. L was tall enough to climb this year. At 219 steps, it is surprisingly easy to climb. You get exhilarated and loose track of the effort as the spirals get closer and the top comes into view. The view from the top is beautiful.
We always get a spot at the Rex Cox parking lot. The kids enjoy playing at the park in the dark. It has been a beautiful tradition for us and I'm glad we made it one last time.
