Musings of Mommy Dearest: Christmas cont.

Zoo Lights!

I love Zoo Lights. Although this year it wasn't quite complete without the mystical Edward Scissorhands score playing throughout the trees and bushes as it did years before, it was still a great Christmas treat. And the kids loved it. It was cold and filled with hundreds of families with the same idea as us--to get their kids out to see the famous lights before Christmas Eve. So it was crowded, and since I forgot a wrap at home, I had to bring the stroller in. Lovely loveliness. Pushing a stroller through Zoo Lights the night before Christmas Eve was nowhere near the madness of pushing a stroller through Disneyland during summertime, but it's semi-sorta close. We had fun, though, and the stroller was a non-issue since I had Incredible Husband there to help out. Yay for my hero!

I think we only stayed about an hour and a half, but in that time we saw what we needed to get our LED fill, and the kids were very content walking back to the car as I questioned their liking of this every-other-year tradition.

And I must admit, so was I.

One of the first displays we saw. Bobby was VERY impressed and embarrassed the boys with being over-the-top enthusiastic about every single insect hanging from the trees. He was hilarious in an obnoxious way and I love him for that.
