Okay, so they don't serve hot chocolate ...

... they serve ice cream products in Largo Park. The park is decorated beautifully for Christmas. You can park and walk and so we did -- Roxanne, Kamen, Tim, Sandi, Tyler and me. We had a great time to the backdrop of Christmas music. It was a little on the cool side but not enough to bring out any hot chocolate vendors -- oh, no! Just the ice cream truck! For this transplanted northerner, I found that quite amusing!








Tyler, Kamen and Tim enjoying their ice cream. Tyler enjoyed it so much, his lips have turned the color of his ice cream!! And then we were on to a neighborhood who raises money for Hospice. Most of the homes in a large area are decorated to the max. Along the way, you will find folks like the lady below. They give away candy canes and, of course, we donated some to the Hospice Fund.


I was taking pictures of the house behind her and Tim assured her that her house would be on my blog -- and maybe she would end up in the news. Okay, that's stretching it! She said, "I appreciate the compliment on the house -- but it's not mine! I'm just here collecting money for Hospice!" Too funny ... We were really glad we chose a night early in December. We will probably go again on Christmas Eve which is a long time tradition -- but chances are, it will take much longer to get through. A lot of other people have the same tradition!! By the way, do you see the snow in the photo below -- well, artificial snow and people get quite creative in Florida to provide the atmosphere of the Christmas season!

One of our best traditions (and free too - except for a donation to Hospice and whatever ice cream we buy!)!!
