A pre-Zoo Lights visit to the Zoo

The Christmas frenzy has started early in our house, partly due to our recent trip to the Stone Zoo. The animals were secondary on this visit. The kids were more interested in the holiday decorations the zoo has up for the upcoming ZooLights event, which starts tomorrow night (Thanksgiving).

While Nora said hello to Santa,

Cam, the felon, broke into the closed train attraction.

Bring on Christmas!

On an unrelated note, I found this article about Disney stopping production on princess movies a little sad. Last year when Nora was first getting into princesses I was initially against the whole princess craziness, but there really is no stopping it. Now I'd rather her twirl around in her Belle princess gown than be concerned about being "hot" or "cool" which marketers claim will happen in just one year (when she turns 5)! Sigh...
