Since we didn't make it to the Festival of Lights at the zoo last year, we thought we would go this weekend and cross it off the list before all of the craziness of December hits. So we broke out the kids new winter jackets and hit the road. Chloe somehow got over the fact that her coat has "GREY" dots on it, and Drew finally realized that no matter what, he can't take his coat off. Once they successfully angered us to almost the point of no return with their complaining about their coats, we all actually had a good time seeing the lights and holiday characters. Santa and Mrs Claus were at dinner, so we didn't see them, but Chloe was pretty excited about a real-life Gingerbread Girl. Brian and I vowed that if we go back, we'll definitely be getting the "spiked" hot chocolate.....:)
