Zoolights!

I cannot believe we have had our zoo membership a year already! We got it the same time we went to the lights last year and now here we are. We used that membership a ton- until I got hugely prego, then not so much. But I am excited for the cooler weather and once Boston is a little older we will be zoo bound again.

We dropped Boss off with Aunt Jill and took Jaci with us instead. We thought she'd like the lights better than the baby. Following tradition we went to Chic-fil-A first and then to the zoo with the Robison family. There were lines when we got there, but we were able to buy tickets at the members window and not wait at all!

Just like last year the kids were a little disappointed they couldn't see all the animals.  And they got a little confused at first when we would say, "Look! There's a gecko!" because they would be looking for a tiny lizard, not the 6 foot long light display.  By the end they figured it out.  We did see the otters swimming and the kimono dragons, so they were happy about that.

On our  way in they passed out these glasses. At first you thought they were 3D, but they were so much cooler! As long as you weren't trying to walk while looking, it made lights look like the picture above. The top is just regular lights, and the bottom with the glasses.  We kept having to hold the kids hands because they wanted to keep the glasses on, but they couldn't walk straight with them. It was pretty funny.

When we left the lines were outrageous! I would never wait in those lines. I mean the lights were cool, but to wait double the time it takes to see the lights does not for a fun night make! Thanks for the outing Robison family!

(Hey Addi, I need the picture of all of us with our glasses on-k?)
