Lights at the Zoo

Went to Brookfield Zoo to see the Christmas lights.  We braved the cold (it was about 20degrees F). 
The Zoo does this every year.  They set up extra trees and decorate them.  Lights are put up around the zoo.  They had the lights on trees (that surrounded the main fountain) that were set to music and they would blink to the tune of the songs they played.  Pretty cool.
This is the first year that we have gone to the zoo this time of year to check out the lights.  We have been members for years but never got around to seeing the lights. 
Of course, the boys were trying to get out of seeing the lights.  They just wanted to go hang out and have dinner with their grandmother (we did that after the lights).  I do have to say that they thought it was cool when we got there.

We saw Rudolph!  He looked well rested after his LONG trip he made the other night.

This one looks funny.  It looks like Bella is punching RT.  Nick just stepped into the picture and Alex is yawning (he had a sleepover the night before...need I say more)

We got to hug a couple of polar bears.  They were pulling a sleigh.  Maybe Santa uses polar bears at the North Pole to pull his sleigh in the off season?  We'll have to ask him the next time we see him.
