Festival Of Lights 2014

Many moons ago, Craig and I had our first date going to the Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo.  We'd been back off and on over the years, but when the kids came along, we decided to make it an annual tradition.  So, last Saturday we set out for the second time this holiday season to see the animals and the lights.  Emilia and Ella really enjoy the animals these days and Rex is now doing a better job than his sisters walking by our side.  Since we only go to the zoo three or four times a year, it's kind of a good measuring stick for the kids' progress.

The kids love the carousel


Ella went nuts for the gingerbread man

So long, local zoo. We'll be back in the spring when Ella wants to see monkeys and lions.

  1. Did Rex bring the container of ice cream from home? :-)

  2. Uhhh-yea. He loves empty icecream containers at the moment, but he's brand-conscious and only carries Edy's. To keep him happy and well supplied, Craig and I, as good parents, are eating lots of icecream.
