Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Electric Safari aka Zoo Lights

We met up with our friends - Heather, Bob, Jack and Sam - the other night on a cold night at the zoo to see the Electric Safari and all the lights and animals around the zoo. By the time we were able to meet up and Rob done with work - we only had the last hour left of the night. But it proved to be the perfect amount of time! We raced through the zoo and managed to get to the Mountain Lions just in time to see them being fed and learn about them. Chloe kept wanting to pet the kitties - she doesn't understand the danger of animals yet obviously!





We saw the giraffes inside this time since it was too cold for them to be outside:



We were lucky enough to run into Santa Claus right as he was heading out for the night. He was the sweetest and came back just to talk to the kids and give them a candy cane. Chloe wanted NOTHING to do with Santa but then Santa gave her a candy cane and talked to her a little bit on her level and she actually said goodbye to him - progress!



Such a fun night at the zoo! Just made me fall in love with our local zoo even more. It's built into the mountain and the perfect size. And it's never been too crowded there. I remember going to Phoenix Zoo Lights and hardly being able to walk through anything or see anything! Although it was quite cold here - being dressed warmly helped and we cruised through everything and we were able to get back into our warm car at the end of the night.
