Zoolights

After Lexi's party (see previous post), we went out to dinner with Shane's family and then to the Hogle Zoolights.  We went to Pizza Pie Cafe in Bountiful.  None of us had ever been there (I drove past it once, so that's how we found out about it), but it was SO, SO good!  It's a pizza buffet place and the food is amazing!  They had lots of different pizza (dessert pizzas, too!) as well as a salad bar, and a pasta bar.  His parents were already planning a return trip before we even left the place.  :)

It started snowing pretty well, but we all headed to the zoo anyway.  I realized too late that our strollers were in the van (we were in Shane's car), so I was a bit panicked about Ari having to walk all over the zoo, and I certainly wasn't going to carry her the whole time.  When we got there, Shane's sister and brother-in-law said that they forgot their stroller, too, so we all rented a wagon for the littlest kids (Ari and Ryley).

Reindeer!

Hangin' out

The moment Ryley wanted to walk, Lexi jumped into the wagon.  Couldn't be left out, now could she?

I know I have no room to complain, since we didn't pay, but it was seriously lame.  It wouldn't be something I would ever go back to.  The only animals we saw were the reindeer (which, by the way, were taken away after 6:30ish), the snow leopard, and half of the small animals in the indoor area.  Everything else was inside due to the cold.  And the lights weren't even that great.  BUT we did get to spend time with family, and that's what counts, right?  ;)
