Tonight we went to McAllen to see their South Pole Illuminated Festival which is held on the grounds of the Convention Center. It is amazing what a day can do as far as weather in the Rio Grande Valley. We had so much rain and cold weather the day before yesterday that we had to reschedule caroling in our park. We did the caroling one day later and it was a cool morning but by 3 PM, it was beautiful outside. Today was another gorgeous day and we only need light jackets to keep us warm while we walked around.
We are about to enter one of several lighted tunnels.
All the lights reflected on the water
made a beautiful scene.
Lee is standing by a lot of weeping willow
trees. They are so pretty. We bought one for our Christmas display this year.
This tree was so pretty, I had Lee take a video of it.
They had fire pits where people
could make s'mores!
They also had fair rides but we
didn't go on any of those.
I love these huge lily pads. They changes
colors and look spectacular!
Another tunnel!
A Double Decker Carrousel
Of course, there was a huge area of food vendors
And another lighted tunnel
We love these icicle lights that look
like they are dripping
In this area there was a movie going on
behind us but this character was floating
over the water and dancing.
It was really a gorgeous evening and we had a good time walking around and seeing everything there was to see and do. 
Then on the way home there was a
fabulous full moon.
These pictures don't do it justice!
