Zoo Lights

We made it!!!! Just in the Nick of time, we finally got up to see Zoo Lights this year. We went last year and loved it so had been trying to fit it in this year too. The weather has been so snowy and cold we had been a little discouraged, but tonight turned out great to bundle up and go. Here's some pics from our adventure.


I gave Mike the camera and you'll notice why I don't do this often. He doesn't take the time to wait and see if people are actually looking at him and stuff just snaps and goes. These Poinsettia's are nice though.

Fun pick of the orangutan that climbs across the pathway like he's swinging from one side to the other. Caught him right in the middle of his trip.
Here's the 2 oldest boyz in front of a big hippo head.




Me and Caleb trying to be tough guys like this gorilla who was flexing his muscles.
Here's me and the wee ones in front of the Mama elephant and her calf.





Mike liked these elephant lights in the tree.



Caleb loved this gingerbread house. I don't think you were supposed to get this close since they kinda had it blocked off. But he marched himself right in there for a pic without me even asking. Who can say no to that?


Caleb had been playing "photog" all day at the house yesterday after we went to Dad's work to deliver presents and hand out his spiders to people. He had so much fun doing that. Well mostly he took tons of shots of his brothers and one day when I have the energy, I'll go through all 300 of them and pick out some good ones to share. But it was no surprise to us that he wanted to take his camera along with us. And here's a few shots he got on his. Thank you Papa Ringo for last year's Christmas present. It's still getting put to good use. The Fisher Price Kids Tough Camera!!









We had so much fun on this outing! I think they had even more lights this year than last so that made it all that much better. I really hope we keep making it a point to make it before Christmas every year. A new tradition for us I think.
