let the holidays begin

This is our 3rd year of going to the ZooLights,
thanks to my company hosting an annual party there.
And one day when I quit working,
we will have to fork out the money to go
in order to keep the tradition going.

In the meantime, we enjoy having the freebie.
Oliver was particularly excited this year.

We got there right when it started
and headed straight for stingray bay.
Oliver liked watching the stingrays
swim by but wasn’t willing to put
his hand in to actually touch them.

Then we headed on down
to the carousel.

While we walked around looking
at the lights,
we enjoyed our first of many
Starbuck’s peppermint hot chocolates.
A seasonal must have.

They had a little art project
for us to do and I forced the
boys to take this picture
when we got home
to show off our works of art.

Oliver’s favorite part of the night
was the large projection of the
Wii game “Just Dance”.
He got up on the stage with
all the other kids to join
in on the dancing.
He was the littlest kid up there
and we couldn’t pull him away.

It was a really fun night
and now I am ready for
the holidays to begin!
