It started with a thought, and through the wonders of Facebook, all of us managed to organize a trip to the Toledo Zoo to take the kids to see The Lights Before Christmas. How all of us had a free Sunday during the crazy holiday season, I don't know, but it was fun that everyone could make it. From left to right: Kay Barber with Grace (4yrs) Jay Barber with Owen (4yrs) Mark with Megan (2yrs) Wes Harrington with Alex (almost 2yrs) and Mike Olsaver with Rosemary (3yrs)
The start of all the lights!
Megan all bundled up and hitching a ride on Daddy's shoulders. Tip of the day: when small children are bundled up in winter coats and snow pants, they are slippery and hard to hold onto for long periods of time. Plan accordingly!
Megan in a daze and not looking at the camera. I tried my best but Megan was busy watching the lights on the trees dance to the music, watching her friends dancing in front of the dancing trees, she was frozen and she probably couldn't hear me. Add all of that up and I never really got a good picture.
Hey, there's a smile!
I don't think any of the parents got a good picture of the kids. Just too many things to look at.
At one point Megan and Alex wanted to hold hands while we walked. But due to thick mittens they couldn't figure out how to hold hands. They tried all sorts of different grasping techniques, but nothing worked. I think what finally worked was me in the middle holding their hands and we walked.
To end the evening, one more picture and a heavenly hot chocolate to go!

My little camera didn't do the best job but I think you get the idea. It was really hard to focus my camera so I'm sorry if anyone gets nauseous watching the video.

Love the Lights before Christmas! I would love to go but I believe that it will be too cold for us "Tennessee" folks to handle. More so the children then the adults.
Glad that everyone was able to find time to enjoy the simple things in life.
