kiawanis light display....round two

 
 
 
 

last night we took my dad to see the light display in mankato...we got in line at 5:30 and after a very small wait of 30 minutes we were entering the park.  My sister went later in the evening and they waited 99 minutes before reaching the park.  After the lights display we went to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings.  Beckie and Josh were also able to join us for the evening.
