Zoo Lights!

 We love the zoo.  In the summer time we go at least every week, often times more.  In the winter it is a bit tougher, since it takes a lot more prep to get out the door.  For zoo lights we thought it would be worth the extra effort.  It was a "warm" night.... about 25 degrees and snowing like crazy!  The zoo had lights up everywhere, and it was fun too see it festive and snow covered.  All of the animals are cold climate animals so they love it too!

You can see Maddie all bundled up in a snow suit, in the babyhawk, inside my jacket.  She stayed super toasty!  Chloe is in her new snow suit, loving the snow.  She would have been happy if we just stayed in the parking lot; she was less into the lights, more into the snow.  

 This next photo was my attempt at capturing Andrew and Chloe, but with all of the snow it was difficult to get a shot not obscured by snowflakes!
And just in case anyone was worried, here is the after shot of Madeline.  happy, safe and warm!


It was truly a white Christmas!  In fact I heard on the news that we are headed toward an all time record for winter snowfall in Anchorage.  It has been snowing pretty much every day, and I love it!  Of course I am not the one who snow plows the driveway on a nearly daily basis.... Andrew may have a different opinion about this snowy record :)
