Last weekend we took the family and went to see the zoo lights and ride the zoo train. We tried to do this last year, but it was raining at each possible time for us to go, so this was our first time. We knew it was going to be cold, so we bundled up as best we could. The boys were troopers, and although they were cold, the 2 older boys held it together for the sake of the train ride. Simon fussed a bit, but he soon felt better after we warmed up his shoes and warmed his feet.
When we got there, the line was really long to ride the train. I think that people must view this as some kind of tradition, and so many people stand in the over hour long line. It reminded me much of the lines at Disneyland because the train ride itself only lasts about 10 minutes. So the grandparents stood in line and we took the boys and walked around a bit. We got some hot chocolate and tried to keep ourselves warm. Then we stood in line for that last half hour to ride the train. After the train ride, we headed home. It was a fun family tradition, and if we can brave the cold, we might return again next year.
