ZooLights

We continued our annual tradition this year of going to Zoo Lights. We've gone every year since I was pregnant with Sidney......(except the year I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with the boys.............I wanted to go and rent a wheel chair, but I was having too many contractions.) It was the last week when Czeslawa arrived, so we went the day she got in to town.

the entrance to the zoo.........there are lights up everywhere......they start putting them up months ahead of time.

these flower lights were on top of one of the concession stands.

this didn't turn out as neat as it looks in real life, but they have all of these birds up in the trees, it looks really nice

here's an animated butterfly

this is Jenga, the talking giraffe........Sidney is always fascinated by him and we have to stop for a few minutes..........there is a person standing out of sight, but somewhere so that they can see and interact with the kids...........not just a pre-recorded thing.

Sidney and Babcia stop to look at the flamingos

most of the animals do not have lights in their exhibits, but you could kind of see them still

This is the area that Daddy likes the best.......where the lights dance along to the music.


it's too bad that I couldn't get the shot farther back, but you can kind of get the idea here.

Can you see the spider climbing on it's web here? The pictures just don't turn out as nice as what the eye can see. (plus, it looks like there may be some spots on my camera lens too.............tiny little finger smudges is probably more like it!)

of course, every time we go to the zoo we must ride the carousel! (we have know wised up and buy the card............that way you get a couple of rides for free!)


you are my sunshine..........my only sunshine........

As you can hear, by Sidney yelling in the background, they did not like waiting around for me to take pictures and video...........but we all had a nice time.
