Zoo Lights


We had a fun evening on Monday with almost everyone in the family. Copper had three procedures during the day (neutering, tooth pulled, and microchip implanted), so Papa stayed home with the recouperating Copper. Ryan and I picked up Rara, and we met Marc, Frances, Alice, and Claire at the zoo for "Zoo Lights."We had a great time walking around and looking at all of the wonderful light displays. Alice & Claire's sound effects (animal noises for each animal) definitely made it even more entertaining.One very cool thing - as we approached the "Asian Highlands" (tiger habitat), the mother and two baby tigers were right by the window. We watched them for a minute, and then the mother walked away. Most people stayed by the window waiting for her to come back. We walked a little further up the walk to see the rest of the lights. When we turned around, she was right above us!

It was extremely cold (a little bit below freezing), but there were plenty of the propane fires/heaters around. It was a wonderful evening! Thanks, family! (And thanks to Papa for "puppy-sitting.")
