Zoo Lights!


With the weather unseasonably warm (at least above freezing), we decided to take advantage of a "warmer" winter day and make our visit to the Zoo Lights.  We had gotten a membership to the Zoo last summer, and figured we'd better take advantage of a trip while in town.


And what a trip!  It is amazing the effort and detail about putting all the lights up!  It was definitely beautiful - though even with the "warmer" weather, it was still mighty nippy!  We did spend a long time standing in line for photos with Santa (we'll have to scan those, since they did not want individual pictures - you had to buy them!).

We went on the Zoo train, where the kids had fun seeing some of the lights around the African Savannah - though certainly no animals out at night!

The girls also enjoyed a ride on the carousel - riding tigers and cheetahs and all sorts of animals.





But definitely, the highlight of the evening is the lights - so many of them, and definitely a challenge to get some decent pictures.
