Wildlights

We went to the zoo this week to see the Wildlights. It was better than years previous, we were only there for a couple hours and could've spent a few more. They cover almost every tree and bush with lights, it was so neat. Kate and Ray went ice skating while Jack and I munched on Kettle corn. Jack really wanted to be in there with the kids skating. We rode the carousel. It was Jack's first time and he preferred the bench over the horse. We saw Santa. I think it is so neat that they let us take picture with our own camera. Unfortunately it turned out blurry so maybe we should've bought one from them. I still wanted to post it because it could've been a great picture! The kids decorated cookies with Mrs. Claus and drove the toy train in this huge/little town with a few trains going around. After some fun and 4 cups of hot chocolate we were on our way out. In the past years it has been bitter cold when we visited to see the lights so we skipped the extras and ran from building to building quickly taking in the lights. With the 60 degree weather we've been having it made for a decent night - a great night.
