We went WiLd for Christmas this year - literally - by taking a trip to the Memphis Zoo for the Zoo Lights! What was I thinking ???- accompanying 10 children (13 & under), sitting butt-to-butt on a 15 passenger van, and passing out fruit drinks/food because children are basically human garbage disposals. But - it wasn't THAT bad! They all were excellent, well-behaved, and had little complaining (well except for El & her legs hurting. Such a drama queen).
We arrived late afternoon & toured the zoo b/c once the lights come on, the exhibits close and animals are put up from viewing.
After refueling on pizza, we came back & rode the "zoo tram" around to see the lights! 
There were stops along the way to see a Magic show, go ice skating, and of course visit Santa! Ellie wanted no part in Santa - but she did want her photo taken w/ this toy soldier--maybe he can get her list to Santa?
During the zoo light hours, The Farm exhibit was open. And guess what? Dasher & Dancer were there visiting before their upcoming trip. A train ride later and we were D.O.N.E! But, I did try one last attempt to get a photo w/ Ellie in front of the entrance Christmas tree. Yep, that would be me waving the flag of surrender and giving up; Ellie in a full run!
