Zoo Lights

So we went to the Zoo Lights last night. Ken's Aunt Sandy and Uncle Dave took us. It was so much fun. The kids loved it. They had this really cool display that had the lights flash/dance to the music being played. It was really amazing. They also had this HUGE tree all light up with lights (it is the tree behind us in the group pictures). I don't know how they got all of those lights on it. It looked spectacular though. Ironically, one of the kids favorite place to go was to see the bugs in the "Crawlspace." They had tarantulas, cockroaches (one thing I definitely don't miss about Arizona), and all other creepy crawlies you can thing of. We kept trying to leave but the kids wanted to look at just one more bug.

Afterwards we came to our house to dry off (it was snowing/raining most of the time we were there) and have hot chocolate and cookies. I will not be giving the girls liquids before bed ever again. Jordan got up 3 times to use the bathroom and Kailyn didn't quite make it when she made a mad dash to the toilet around 1am.

It was a wonderful evening, the only bad part of the night is I left the stroller in Ken's car (read my little adventure and you will know why we took Ken's car) and thus missed walking group today. I really wanted to go but I guess its probably good I didn't since our dishwasher started over flowing this morning when I started it. There was so much water on the floor. I can't imagine the mess it would have made had it gone through a full cycle.

Looks amazing! Jon and I are hoping to go see the lights at the zoo soon. Looks like your kids really enjoyed it too. I hope your car is okay. I was sorry to hear you had to walk home in the rain. That makes your day not so fun.

Hope you got your dishwasher fixed. And your car. Love the pictures. So glad Sandy and Dave are close. Wish we were, too.

Not quite Temple Square but very fun! The first year we went it was freezing and we ended up hanging out in the aquarium the whole time. It looks like you had a great time.
