38 acres of lights, plus animal exhibits, made for a fun family visit to the Denver zoo during its Zoo Lights holiday event. We went tonight with the Fisher family (aka Abby's good friend Gwen's family) and their neighbors.

It was a tad chilly in Denver, hovering just around freezing by the time we arrived around 6PM, but hot chocolate and warm hats and gloves were all that were required to stay comfortable.

The kids had a great time. Besides all the really cool light exhibits, Abby's favorite was seeing the elephants. However, the hippo and rhinoceros freaked her out.
