Let the Holidays Begin!

Last night we kicked off our holiday season with a trip to Zoo Lights at the Phoenix Zoo. They were having special preview nights for members with some fun freebies we had to take advantage of.


First, we stopped at Sting Ray Bay to touch the sting rays. I was surprised at how soft and slimy they were. I only needed to feel it once, but everyone else seemed to be enjoying it. There was even a small shark in the pool.


Next, we took a ride on the carousel. Kimble first wanted the shark, then settled on the zebra. Unfortunately, as the ride began she noticed the horse in front of her. So for the entire ride, she was just so sad. Karter on the other hand didn't really care and was not really sure what was happening.



After walking around the light display and watching the "Dancing Trees," Karl (my younger brother) decided that he wanted to try climbing the Coconut Tree. It looked a little awkward because he is so tall, but he made it up to the top quickly.


We can't wait to go back next year! Hopefully, it will actually be cold by that time.

It looks like you guys had so much fun. I'll definitely miss those this year. I heard the zoo in Salt Lake just started zoo lights last year - although I'm sure they won't compare to the Phoenix Zoo's :)
