Advent Calendar: ZooLights!

For Day 6 of our Advent Calendar Tree Joshua received a note about it being the season for Zoolights at the Oregon Zoo.

We went in the late afternoon during normal zoo hours as the lights started to be turned on and evening started to set in.

Darkness sure settled in quickly after the sun set. Then the lights really started to pop!

We ate a fun dinner in the AfriCafe and then it was really dark outside!

We ended the evening with one of Joshua’s favorites parts of going to the zoo – the Carousel!

Advent Calendar: Finger Lights

For Day 5 of our Advent Calendar Tree Joshua was given a present with Finger Lights! We have been doing Christmas Light “Hunting” after dinner most evenings recently, and we all proudly wore Finger Lights on our hunt this evening. Our weather have shifted to be dry (quite cold, but no rain), which is much more pleasant for tromping around the neighborhood than the rain we experienced over the weekend!
