Memphis Zoo Lights

We had the opportunity to go to the Memphis Zoo Lights the day after Thanksgiving. We had such a great time! We were the first people in line and there were so many fun things to see and do. There was "snow" falling when we walked in. (Bubbles really, but it looked so much like real snow, it was awesome!) We got to decorate sugar cookies, ride on the zoo train, pet the various animals in the farm area (they even had Dasher and Dancer, Santa's reindeer!), drink hot chocolate and see all of the fun lights! There were some really fun displays and we really enjoyed ourselves! We are so glad the Granny, Grampy and Trey got to experience this with us for the first time! We will definitely be going back next year!!!

Lainey kept hugging the panda--she did not want to let him go! It was so sweet!

Lainey would not leave until she got the donkey to come over. She was very insistent and got her way, as you can see!

Riding on the train!

Cheese!

You will most definitely NOT be going next year because by then you will be back home... right?!!? Looks like such a blast! I want to check out our zoo light some time this Christmas (Although I'm sure it won't be as fun as with those cute kids!)!

It was such fun, Trey is one crazy stroller driver, although the girls loved it. What wonderful memories :)

We actually had a cold front come through--and you get so acclimated to the heat the rest of the year, the cold throws us off come winter time!! :)
