We wanted to get the children involved in Spring Street. The response was excellent.

They put a lot of thought into this. It's evident that they worked really hard.

People can just stroll and go into the shops. The decorations should be plentiful.

It won't be as crazy as New Orleans, but maybe we'll get there someday.

We were hoping the outcome would not be what it was. We know, though, what the scripture says about children: Their souls go straight to heaven.

And the sides are soft, so it's very easy for children ages 2 and 3 who can't swim to lean and flip over it and drown.
