Zoo lights

We went with my family to see the Zoo lights. Payton and Birkley were sick so Holly stayed home and Evrett and Brewer went down with my Mom and Kim. It was super cold. the lights were really fun to look at. When you first walked in they were selling glasses that turned the lights into snowflake, Kim and I didn't hear the part about them costing anything so we kind of stole them. Good thing our Mom was there to keep us honest..

My Mom was so sweet and treated us all to a ride on the new merry go round. The kids loved it. I had Spencer and he was so funny, He would started screaming like he hated it then you would look at his face and he had the biggest smile. The whole way through the Zoo he would scream and we would all just laugh. We saw all the animals in the reptile house..It was feeding time and Bruce now things the Zoo keepers are mean for killing mice. Preston loved all the cute furry things, and Bruce of course loved the snakes and lizards. We also got to see the cats. You could she the mom with her three baby's, you could only see them faintly because it was so dark, and we saw the lynx while we were in the house Esther was crawling on the floor the lynx really took an interest in her and started pawing at the glass and trying to get her. Not mean, just curious.
We left the house and went up to see the tigers, we were gone for maybe 5 minutes when we noticed that our Wynnie wasn't with the group. We looked all over. I gathered all the kids in the house with me so all the other grownup's could go looking. The kids and I said a little prayer, It was so scary you just start thinking the worse. She had stayed in the house, when we all left to go see the tigers, and a zoo keeper found her and took her to their main building when you first walk in. It took us like 10 min to find her, the scariest 10 min ever. I am so grateful that she was just lost and not stolen. Up until the end we all had a great time. The kids were all a little sad that we didn't get to see the baby elephant, or the baby giraffe. But we promised them we'd go back in the spring, when it's light and warm outside.
