Not Zoo Lights

Today we....

went to preschool..


gave Papa a workout...


and tried to go to Zoolights with our friends, the Clarks. This has become an annual tradition with our families and is pretty fun. Today happened to be a dry day and apparently everyone else in the Portland metro area realized this and so it became absolutely impossible to find parking there. We regrouped at a nearby restaurant for a snack and to wait out the crowds hoping that if we went later there would be less people. Uh. No. There were more. A lot more. So we quickly came up with a Plan B. In Portland there are a few blocks that are known for their annual Christmas Display, so we headed over to Peacock Lane to take in the lights.

We saw Santa...



Watched lighted trains and cute animals on seesaws...


And enjoyed the good company!


I think Zoolights would have been a better fit for our energetic 3 year old boys (and you can sit and sip hot apple cider), but taking a stroll down Peacock Lane was a good second choice for the night. It was dry out after all...
