Last year I bought a zoo membership with the intention of taking my grandkids to see the Zoo Lights and then a trip or two to the zoo during the year. Life intervened and we never made it to the Zoo Lights, but I did take Audrie and Connor to the zoo a couple of times this year.
Turns out my membership is good until the end of December. I got email today stating a special preview night for the Zoo Lights for zoo members. So Dave and I took the little kids to see the lights. And they were spectacular. I had heard someone say they were very disappointing. I disagree completely. We were amazed and awed. Audrie was amazed and awed. Connor was cold. It was well worth the drive over and putting up with a little chill in the air. We had Connor wrapped up in a blanket and we kept warm walking.
We ate at the Afri Cafe. Connor ate an onion. Silly boy. Audrie had chicken nuggets shaped liked zoo animals. She shared with Connor. When we got seated at our table we realized that Connor had lost one of his brand new shoes. Joy. We did what any responsible parent would do. We checked lost and found on the way out and sure enough they had found his shoe. Made me happy. I love when things work out like that.
It was a great outing and we all had a good time. Even Dave was glad he went with. :p
