Zoo Lights

Let me tell you about Zoo Lights. It involves the following things:

• super far away parking
• longest lines ever to get in (unless you’re brilliant like us and order tics online)
• lots of lights…not so many animals (2 to be precise)
• frigid temperatures; frigid temperatures so cold that even the rank small reptiles building seems like a nice, cozy place.

…those are the bad things. Oh, and Junior, who refused to wear gloves and a hat, until later being tricked into wearing them; that was bad too.

 

Now let’s talk about the good things:

• savory mac n’ cheese at Corner Bakery
• sipping hot apple cider as we strolled along
• hand-warmers inside gloves
• Cole oohing at the lights
• Kate holding my hand to keep me warm
• getting into the car just moments before my fingers would have chipped off from the cold

 

An okay night. Not one I’d soon do again, but festively memorable, nonetheless.
