Zoo lights and Trivia

December 6, 2008.
We meet up with Vango's at the Zoo with 700 kids and their parents for the annual 3 night Zoo Lights presentation. The long line was around the building and down the block before the 6 PM opening. There are lots of lights that look like animals , which is a good thing because all the critters are sleeping out of sight. We did peep through the glass and could barely make out the Gorillas in their beds.

Music, Crafts and lots of homemade items for sale. A very busy spot was the tables where Decorating Gingerbread Cookies with lots of frosting ,sprinkles, M&M and colored sugar was happening. We walk around and out waited most of the kids and then head back to the Gingerbread room ,,, Adults now are taking over with all their decorating skills. What fun to be a kid again. The Gingerbread cookie was a tasty bonus..

I think I liked watching the little ones talking to Santa the best. They were so funny , some were scared , some brave, some bold and some just annoying. One adult had Santa talk to some one on their cell phone!! Santa Claus is one tough gig.. You had to pay 2 bucks to take a picture with Santa with your camera. I tried to charge this couple 1 dollar to take this photo but no dice. When I tried again with a stranger he just laughed and said good idea.

These were the only awake creatures we seen. The smell in this area was so bad we did not linger.

Monday December 8, 2008 Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch.

We meet with our regular friends/competition, the Vango's

They put trivia up on the Big screen for us because there was no sports event at 11:30 am. Wait,, I thought Trivia was a sport.

Vango WINS!! Can you guess which names belongs to who?

This is special because we got the restaurant number 4 in the nation for the game just played.

Always take your Camera to lunch.
