Christmas with Superman.

Superman Statue

We were in Southern Illinois for Christmas. We had a choice...head back home to Chicagoland through a blizzard...or go see Superman. The choice was easy. Did you know that Superman dons a huge Christmas stocking cap for the season? (Luckily we had our hats, too!)

We didn't heed Jim Croce's warning - and the boys "Tugged on Superman's cape." Superman cut-out figures are located directly across the street from the giant Man of Steel.
