Christmas lights at the Zoo

Last night we decided to brave the freezing rain and spend the evening seeing all the Christmas lights at the Zoo!  Derek and I took Logan, our niece Madison, cousin Michelle, and cousin Kristen with us.  We were all dressed in tons of layers to keep warm, and of course, we sipped on hot cocoa.  

The lights were so beautiful!!!  Every year they seem to add more and more to their display, and I loved watching the lights around the pond dance to music.  They were timed perfectly to whatever song was playing at that time.

To keep from getting too cold while we walked around, we ducked into several of the buildings to see some of the animals.  First, Logan and Madison wanted to go see Santa - so we took them to sit on Santa's lap and they each got a candy cane.  

Afterward we went in to the reptile building, where the kids were able to pet a real snake.  Ewww gross!  :)  Then we went on to the other buildings to see the manatees and elephants.  



Some of the pictures we took are below!  Great times!!!
