Zoo Lights with the Elswoods 12-22-2014

We planned an evening out with our best friends/family to see the zoo lights and go to dinner, too bad it was the coldest night of the year so far. 

We meet up at Red Robin. This isn't the place I usually like, but they had the best hamburger yet since being pregnant. It had grilled pineapples on it. 

The kids did great and Kara even sat in the high chair most of the time, so we could actually eat our food without her on our lap. 









After dinner, we stopped at the ball machine and David paid a $1.00 for each kid to take a turn at navigating the "claw" to get a ball. Kara only took about 4 times with Matt's help as she kept pushing the grab button. 



After dinner, we headed up to the zoo to see the lights. It was cold but we bundled up as much as possible. Matt was chillier than Kara or I as he didn't bring a warm enough coat or a beanie. I tried before we left, but he said he would be fine. Too bad he didn't listen. 

The lights were fun, but we didn't get to see very many animals, until we got to the building that were warm. We had fun thawing out in the reptile building. I put Matt incharge of watching Kara, but that meant me keeping a less close eye on her and watching him try and watch her. Thankfully Kristin was watching too. One time Kara slipped through the crowd and Kristin had to grab her. From then on, Kara only wanted Kristin, which was nice for a little breather.
