It was such a great time. I took a picture of the cake because the zoo’s catering department did such a nice job:

The kids first went on the carousel:

Here’s a great view of the lights:

I loved the lights synchronized to Christmas music:

Here’s video of model trains that are always a hit with the kids:

The building that had the trains in it also had a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex skull. Little Man had me take his picture with his head inside the T-Rex’s mouth.

Then one of Little Man’s cousin, J, wanted me to take his picture, too. Isn’t that cute? That’s J’s dad, Mark, standing next to him.

We had such a great time.
