Wildlights

Friday night, the family went to Wildlights at the Woodland Park Zoo. Approximately 575,000 LED lights are strung around the northern section of the zoo to recreate wild animals and wild places. You can loop around a trail to view the light display and along the way there are a few indoor facilities opened so you can warm up!

We started out on the Carousel. Well, Brock started out on a horse on the Carousel, but then moved to a sleigh for the remainder of the ride. Woodland Park Zoo's Carousel was produced in 1918 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. It is one of only about 150 vintage hand-carved wooden carousels remaining in the world.

Here is a video of Brock observing the carousel. (Not one hundred percent sure I could commit to the word "enjoying", so I went with observing)

We ventured out into the cold again and made our way to Snowmazium. Inside this building, big kids were having an indoor snowball fight, but Brock was very happy crawling around the toddler area and watching the fish.

Once he discovered this tunnel, he was so proud of himself crawling from one side to the other! Sorry so blurry - he wouldn't stop crawling!!

Then we were back outside to finally conquer the loop. It was a little cold, but we were bundled up nicely.

Thanks Mom for the coat - MY Christmas present :)

We were able to see a few penguins (but they weren't swimming, so they didn't come close to us) and some nocturnal animals - Sloths and Indian Flying Foxes (bats) - but Brock and I are ready for some nicer weather so we can return and take advantage of our zoo membership and see more! Brock has to learn his animals!

Oh and one more picture of earlier that day because he just looks so darn cute!

Thank you Aunt Beverly for our Baby Gap sweater!
