Christmas Eve at the Zoo

You may be thinking the zoo is a weird place to spend Christmas Eve, but let me tell you it was wonderful. The Phoenix Zoo has put together Zoolights for the holiday season, as I believe many zoos around the country do. After our traditional Christmas Eve dinner at Chili's (don't ask one never knows how these traditions begin), we headed to the zoo. It was a perfect evening to stroll around and enjoy the lights. The weather was in the mid-50s with a slight breeze. There were actually people there in full winter gear, including woolen hats and mittens and I refrained from taking their pictures, well just because it was Christmas and I decided not to make fun of these Southwesterners with their amusing sense of what is cold. The lights were great and there was a walkway lined with trees that had their lights sychronized to the music that was playing. It was great to walk around, get some fresh air and tire out the kids.
