There were thousands of people here and all lines were very long.
First there was an extremely long line that went around the block to
get in to pay a small entry fee. Then there was another long line to
climb the snow hill. Small groups of people were admitted to the snow
hill and got only about five minutes to climb the snow hill or make
snowballs before another group came in. |

Anthony made it to the top
of the snow hill and was very proud of himself. Then he had fun sliding
down the hill. |
|
|
Then Karen Duquette and her
great-grandson Anthony made a few snowballs and tossed them at each
other. |
|
|
Next, after standing in another long line, it was on
to the bounce house, which Anthony really enjoyed. |
|
|
|
The final event here was the
alligator roller coaster ride which Anthony got to ride three times
despite the long line. Each time they called for a single rider, Anthony
managed to get on. |

|
When one of the boys noticed Karen Duquette taking Anthony's picture,
the boy said "photos" to the other boys and they
all looked towards the camera. |

Leaving the Snow-Fest, Anthony saw the big rock in front of Broward
College and wanted to climb up on the rocks. So Karen Duquette assisted
him while Lee Duquette took a photo. A sliver of the moon can also be
seen in the photo below. They had arrived at Snow-Fest around 3 p.m.
and by they time they left it was dark - about 7 p.m. |
|
Then it was time to go to "Christmas at the Oasis"
a church located at 12201 SW 14th Street,
Pembroke Pines, Florida |
|
|
Christmas at the Oasis was open for a full 16 days and had amazing
light displays, about 50,000 lights and more, all throughout the grounds.
It was free entry to walk around and see everything. However, there
was a fee for the train ride through the grounds. This was so much more
than just lights. This year, 2016, was the 25th Anniversary of this
event. |
|
Anthony said this was, "the best day of his
life"! But of course, Karen Duquette knows he will have many
more "best days" in the future. |
