Zoo Lights

Wednesday, we bundled up in our warmest winter gear and headed out to Zoo Lights. Thankfully, our trip couldn't have gone smoother. There was no parking hassles; just a short wait to ride the train; the weather was cold, but no rain; and no huge crowds to make things tedious and awkward--which was a relief, as I had friends encounter some or all of these problems in their trips prior to Christmas.

As for the lights, it was great fun and the displays were elaborate and beautiful. Franny definitely enjoyed the train ride and the lights, but she also just loved running around and being part of the scene. She seems to really thrive on the energy of large crowds and festivities, as we have witnessed during the many events we have taken her to. Even when she was just months old, rather than being intimidated by the noise and chaotic activity, her eyes light up and she is completely intrigued by her surroundings. This aspect of her personality makes it a joy to take her to differents events and expose her to different things, because she has so much fun. This year's Zoo Lights was one of those times.
