Zoo Lights

Saturday, Jan. 2nd, we decided to brave the cold on the last night of Zoo Lights...and it was definitely frigid. The temperature was in the 20s with the wind chill factor in the teens. We bundled up really well and saw lots of lights and many animals. There were two reindeer in the farm section that we saw as we rode the train. While we warmed up a little in the aquarium, we saw several fish, turtles, and an eel. Ellie was fascinated with the eel because he kept hiding in the "tunnels" which is her new word for any dark spaces.

In the Northwest Passage exhibit, we saw a polar bear and some seals while Ellie danced in the dark with a princess. And on our first visit to the new Teton Trek exhibit, we saw the awesome new lodge, the elk, and the wolves.

All wrapped up...
