Done pooped out

 

So a couple days ago I met up with a friend and we took a trip up to the zoo. It's one of the nice perks of zoo membership is that I get in 2 people free when I go with them. So I guess in a way it is sort of bribery to get people to hang out with us. But whatever it takes :)

We had fun though. We packed a lunch and just made a day of it.

The ride home however got really quiet. I looked back and saw one of the best sights a mom can see. All three of them were crashed out and catching flies. This is not something that I see very often. Peanut, sure. Sunshine, sometimes. But Bug never sleeps in the car. Well, I guess never say never. It does happen sometimes, but it is very rare. Of course as soon as I pulled into the driveway, the spell was broken and they were all cranky and at each other's throats. But I at least have this picture to show that every now and then when the stars allign just right, all of them will sleep. All at once I mean :)

Zoo Lights

So tonight we got all bundled up and went out to the zoo lights. Our zoo goes really elaborate on the lights and it's really cool. We have a membership, so we go a lot and have been watching them put up lights and get geared up for it. They start putting up lights in about September. You can practically see the lights from space. They also have a little steam train that goes all around the zoo and light exhibits. You don't really see any animals, but the lights are the main attraction.

It was really cold, so we only stayed for about an hour or so. Good thing we have a pass. That is exactly why we have the pass , so we don't have to see everything every time. If we need to leave early, we don't have to tough it out to get our money's worth.

I got a lot of really cool pictures though!

Now I need to spend the rest of my evening packing for our beach trip. My in laws are renting out a house right on the shore for 4 days. We have been looking foreword to it for months. It's a nice little getaway in the winter. I'm pretty sure we will still have Internet there, so I'll try to post along the way.
