Zoo Lights

These are a set of pictures I'm so thankful Young was able to save...our trip out to the Oakland Zoo for Zoo Lights. Ana and I took the kids out to the zoo one day over the holiday break and planned on staying into the evening for the light show. Only when we drove all the way out there (30min away) we found out they close the zoo at 4pm, clear it out and reopen at 5:30 for the light show. AND you have to pay to get in the zoo and pay again for the Zoo Lights! Ugh! Oh well, we were already out there, the kids were all so excited so we chalked it up to experience and charged forward with out day/evening out at the zoo!



I'm so thankful they let us hang out in the cafe, after we ordered some food, for an hour between closing and reopening...it was cold outside! But then the lights came on!
We took the train ride around the park and saw all the animal lights, great views of SF, and some sleeping animals. (I had way more pictures but they all turned out blurry...)
We walked back over to the children's area to watch the light show of music and motion lights. It was a little hard for the kids to hear and catch all that was going on so they took off for the play area again...just as much fun in the dark as in the day..
The only snowflakes we saw this Christmas...
Bye Zoo Lights...see you next Christmas!
