Zoo Lights

Late this afternoon I heard on the radio that it was $3 Thursday at Zoo Lights. I knew Aubrey would just love seeing the whole zoo in lights with lots in the shapes of animals. So, we just had to go.

They did a really great job with the lights. Aubrey just loved it. She had fun running around and pointing at everything. They had Christmas music playing and we had to stop and dance a few times.

They have a carousel there that is an extra fee to ride. So, we were just going to bypass it. After much coaxing and chasing after Aubrey as she would make a run for it - we managed to get passed it and on to other displays. Unfortunately, we had to pass it again on our way out of the zoo. After several attempts, we managed to get her pretty far away from the carousel and thought we were home free. When all of a sudden Aubrey turned around and made a run for it. We followed her, curious to see if she could find her way back. Well, she obviously does not have my sense of direction because she was able to make every turn correctly and got all the way there on her own. So, we finally gave in and let her ride the carousel. We're suckers, I know, but she certainly enjoyed herself! During the ride home Aubrey told me several times (in her way) about going up and down on the bear and waving at mommy.
