Zoolight Safari

Monday night, we headed out with Uncle Steve and Aunt Emily to a cool, but fun night at none other than...

Our first stop once we got into the zoo was the train so that we could get a good view of all the lights before we struck out walking to see everything. We had a little bit of a wait, so Uncle Steve did some entertaining.

All Aboard! Carter was excited to get to ride the train with Uncle Steve and Aunt Emily. Nick, Callen and I sat in the seat behind them at the very back end of the train {Carter's choice}. Except for losing Callen's sippy cup {which bounced out when she dropped it towards the end of the train ride}, we had a fun, albeit cool, train ride around the zoo. Carter loved pointing out the different animals and looking to find the ones that Uncle Steve and Aunt Emily pointed out. Callen just kept trying to stand up the whole time.

They had cute cut-outs where you could take pictures of your family/friends as different Christmas characters...elves, frosty...even some animals, too.

Callen couldn't quite figure out how it worked at first.

Luckily for Callen, Daddy stepped in to show her how it works...

Now, she gets it! Thanks, Daddy!

On our way out, Uncle Steve spotted the jolly old man himself {Carter had been dying to see a "real, live" Santa}, so we stopped to let Carter and Callen visit with him. Carter walked right up, sat down and rattled off a list like he'd been practicing for days. Callen gave him the stink-eye and walked in the opposite direction!

After we left the zoo, we headed to a quick dinner with Uncle Steve and Aunt Emily before taking our two home to bed. Thanks to Uncle Steve and Aunt Emily for braving the cool weather to go to Zoo.light Safari with us! We had a great time!
