Lincoln Park Zoo Lights!

Everyone's favorite was the light and music show.

Cordelia was quadruple bundled.

Bea was on foot and running.

Per Bea's request, they went to the holiday train.

No one thought about Bea riding alone.

With each swerving pass the train did, it brought with it a trail of screams.

A couple days before Christmas, we went to Zoo Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo. It was fantastic. So many lights and scenes and themes. There were ice carvers outside and Santa was inside. I am surprised by Bea and the train. It seemed like it would be so fun. Cordelia preferred being outside in the cold instead of in the toasty exhibits. I am sure it was because she was surrounded by lights and could see whatever she wanted. At one point a woman told me "no offense...but WIDE LOAD" and then elbowed towards our double stroller. She was also so helpful to suggest that this is when an umbrella stroller comes in handy. On the way out we stopped at the Hot Cocoa Bar for some PB cocoa and peppermint cocoa. This was Bea's first time having cocoa and she clutched the cup and slowly sipped while saying taankyou mommy.
