zoolights

Last night Granny Tina and I took Cameron to "Zoolights" at the National Zoo in DC. It is a wonderful evening event where they decorate the zoo with lots of light displays and open some of the animal houses so you can see the animals at night. We saw lots of the small mammals inside, include a sloth and an armadillo which Cameron loved! We also saw some of the big apes getting settled in for the night.

We went to the event with Ruby, Dave and Jean. Cameron was so excited to be out with Ruby at the zoo at night. The photos below are kind of funny. For some reason they had a dancing panda bear in a snow globe. The kids could dance with Panda and give him a high five. After a while Cameron said "that panda's wearing shoes!"... "no, way" I said, "yes!" said Cameron, "and pandas don't wear shoes mummy". I guess he figured it all out.

Here is Cameron giving the "panda" a high five.And here is Ruby wondering what is going on with a panda in a snow globe.Next was Granny and Cameron checking out the Komodo Dragon light display.

And this blue tree was just beautiful. Some of the trees were flashing on and off in time to Christmas music.Cameron and Ruby loved the big blue triceratops.And Ruby loved climbing all over the frog.At the end of the evening we all hopped into the minivan for the trip home. Cameron and Ruby were tired but had a great night at the zoo.
