On Monday we went to Columbia, SC with Chris' mom. We stopped by the mall first and bribed the kids with a carousel ride.
We went to
Riverbanks Zoo for Lights Before Christmas. Can you imagine if the National Zoo called their lights display "Christmas Zoo Lights?"
The light display at Riverbanks was much more impressive than Zoo Lights at the National Zoo was a couple of years ago. Riverbanks seemed to have most of their trees decorated. It was really pretty.
I wonder if Santa was here before Christmas? It was a very nice little display.
There were animals lights every where along the walking paths.
This was a very cool display where the lights were synchronized to music. This large tree changed colors multiply times.
It was a record setting day for carousel rides.
We saw two koalas. Everyone said this one was holding a little baby in her arms. We didn't see the koalas when
we were there last summer.
Wesley said, "Look at the apple tree!" It did look like an apple tree with the bright red lights. Throughout the zoo there were trees with brightly colored ball lights.
Lydia posed with an owl light.
There were two fire pits for roasting marshmallows. We didn't get any marshmallows but we did enjoy the warmth from the fire.
I didn't take my warmest jacket and none of us had gloves or hats with us in South Carolina. We were fine for a while but after being outside for two hours, we were ready to go into the Aquarium Reptile Complex.
The building was nice and warm and we all enjoyed seeing the fish and reptiles.
We all had fun and I am so glad we got to go. I think it will be an annual tradition.
We got some kettle corn to eat on the way home. Lydia fell asleep as soon as she finished her last piece. Wesley also quickly fell asleep.

Happy New Year! We have Jungle Bells at the San Diego Zoo. Do you know Koalas are awake only 2h a day? Amazing you saw the koala awake. We saw them awake in SD, too!
