Every year the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium puts on 'Zoo Lights'. They have hundreds of thousands of lights all over the zoo and as we have a one year family pass, we decided to take advantage of the free entrance (for pass members) and check out this annual event. It was UNBELIEVABLE! We all had a great time wandering around the zoo absorbing all the light displays along with the ambiance. As it was a chilly evening (the lights go on at 5pm) everyone was dressed up 'like eskimos' as the song goes..mittens and scarves, sweaters and heavy winter coats. At one spot they actually had a snow machine which was awesome! You literally walked into a snow flurry! How fun was that!?! It was just unbelievable how many lights there were and how well they were done! It was something we all enjoyed and were glad we actually saw!

I LOVE this kind of thing! There's a big one here in WV, but it's clear up in the northern panhandle, so I haven't been for years.
