ZooLights 2008

It has become a Walker tradition to attend Phoenix Zoo's ZooLights while the family is in town for Thanksgiving. Last year, it was cold and crowded on whatever night we went. This year, it was cool and not too crowded. The only nitpicky thing I can say is that the new LED lights are not as brilliant. I forgot. There is one more nitpicky thing I can say. Keith and family left before ZooLights, so the only people that went were Valley locals.

Yes, we are at ZooLights. You can tell by the clever sign saying ZooLights.

Here a few of us back at the synchronized lights in the trees.

Granddad and Bella checking out some of the LED lights.

Here are the synchronized lights at the trees as seen by Vincent Van Gogh. Well, it also could be an upside down photo of the lights reflected in the pond. I like my first explanation better.

Here, Kendall and her Daddy are getting a close-up view of a swan.

Here is a sign Dad finally determined says that feeding certain animals can cause loss of hands and severe bleeding. It worked for us. We fed no animals.

Let's finish this up with a lovely depiction of the Monty Python Killer Rabbit. Well, that's what it looks like to me.

Thanksgiving photos coming soon to a monitor near you!!

Hey, that is our family tradition too. We were there Friday night, in line as the gates opened and didn't leave until 9 pm. The girls had to pet the rays and ride the carosel. I noticed this year there were 2 different "dancing tree" sets. We watched both...and ate our cookies and drank hot cocoa. Yum.

We could go with Granddad's explanation. Either that or the sign might be signifying that Megaman is not welcome to shoot little pieces of candy out of his arm instead of his normal beam of energy.
