Zoolights 2009!

On Friday, we went to Zoolights at the Stone Zoo. While we waited for Mike and Sandy to come by after dinner, Dave "drove" Eli around in his Cozy Coupe. Eli LOVED it! Is it a part of men's DNA to hang an arm out the window, have a hand on the steering wheel, and smile at the ladies?



It was a perfect night for Zoolights - not too cold and not too crowded. We got to take a picture with some of Santa's reindeer.



When Eli is in his stroller, he is almost in a trance. But he is so freakin' cute! Plus, I think he was a little overwhelmed at first.



Once we got into Santa's Castle, Eli loved the lights. He kept pointing and smiling.



We finished the night with Eli's first ride on a carousel. I thought Dave pointed at the dog and said that it was stationary. It wasn't - it moved up and down. I was so afraid to let go of Eli even a little that I also crouched up and down for the whole ride. I thought Sandy, Dave, and Mike were going to pass out from laughing at me so hard. Whatever...my baby was safe...and I got a ridiculous workout!
