Given Lucy's experience with Santa last year (also see here), we thought perhaps the reindeer encounter would be preferable. And indeed, it went quite well. But Zoolights is more than just reindeer: a whole area of the zoo is seriously covered in lights, and there's this path you walk through with all sorts of wacky animatronics in various Christmas and seasonal themes. The usual, a train set, penguins, various wintery animals and the like. Also, there was a large alarm clock with crazy hands that spun fast. I overheard a little kid walking by ask "A clock?" I kind of felt the same way.
Lucy loved the whole thing and ran about gleefully asking "What's that called?" (her new question, asked at a rate of roughly 4 times a minute).
In other news, 83 Durant has been receiving some exciting packages from Santa. And what I mean here is that for the past two days, we've received packages with no indication of who really sent them. We received some lovely bicycle-engraved pint glasses, and then a set of six beautiful glasses etched with a tree design. We love them! Secret Santa, wherever you are, thank you!
