Early Zoo Lights

It’s become a tradition for Marina and I to start the holiday season with Zoo Lights. As a University of Colorado Alumni, I am invited to their private event each year. This year since Thanksgiving falls to late in the year, they had to schedule it before. But we decided to go anyway.

We arrived a bit later than our entry time, so there was no line to get in. Our first stop was to pick up hot chocolate and cider to drink. Then we headed out into the zoo. The lights change every year and they were really lovely this year. We stopped to hear the CU Buffoons sing and went through Tropical Discovery.

After we went through the entire display, we went back to the Santa line. It was much shorter than when we arrived, so we refreshed our drinks and got in the line. When we reached the front, the mascot Chip and his family were right by us. So we invited them into our photos. They turned out awesome!

After our pictures we were ready to go home. We’d had another fun evening at the CU Alumni Zoo Lights.
