37th Street Lights and the Zilker Tree

Me Mom is visiting for the holidays so we took her to visit two beloved Austin holiday traditions: "The Miracle on 37th Street" and the Zilker Tree. We hit 37th Street first and then made our way to a little further south for a quick spin under the lights.






Unfortunately for us, when we climbed back into the car, we discovered that Thunder, Ben's much-loved stuffed horse, was missing. The grown-ups scoured the park (even though we never let Thunder out of the car on our outings) while Ben calmly declared the disappearance to be "a mystery". We came up empty-handed, so we headed back to 37th Street. And, there he was, resting on the curb at the corner where we had parked. We'd left him there for over an hour. It was a Christmas miracle to get him back!
