Made it to the zoo lights tonight. This was my first time ever going there. We attempted last Saturday night but it was crazy with crowds and there were extra parking lots open and busses for shuttles with very very long lines so we changed our mind and decided to try a week day. Better yet, we accidently stumbled on $2 Tuesday and got in super cheap!

First thing we did as we walked bundled up through the entrance was head to the train. We were in earlier then it opened so we had a little bit of wait but we were the first group to board and enjoyed the ride.

The zoo was not very crowded and it was beautiful to see all the lights and visit some of the animals that were out. We had the polar bear all to ourselves, which never happens. Also was able to see the baby elephant that was born during the summer.

We started out with Mackenzie in the stroller but after the train ride we either carried her or let her walk. She seemed to have a great time and lately it was one of our better nights with her.

Hubby had packed us a thermos of coffee w/creamer and we just wandered around enjoying all the lights. It was a fun night.
