Lions and Tigers and Lights Oh My




On a sunny day with rain forecasted for the weekend, we decided to make our annual trek to zoo lights. Of course it was clear and cold, but this year we didn't have any snow. Many other people had the same idea, but our zoo membership got us right in. CJ wanted to do the train (which we'd avoided up until last year), so Daddy got into the line for those tickets while CJ and Mama found our way to the long train line. We were excited when we moved far enough to see the 30 minute wait sign, but not so excited when we finally made it to the 15 minute wait sign after half an hour. The zoo has improved the waiting experience and even had entertainers twirling lighted hula hoops as we wound our way to the train. After over an hour we finally got seated on the train for our 15 minute ride. CJ thoroughly enjoyed it, but it didn't leave us much time to look around the rest of the zoo. We enjoyed a hot chocolate and a few more lights before heading home.
