Christmas Eve: Zoo

We weren't sure we would continue the Christmas Eve tradition of going to the zoo since there isn't a zoo in Raleigh. But on Christmas Eve morning we figured we had the whole day to kill so we made the 1 1/2 hour drive to the North Carolina Zoo. It was a really great zoo and much larger than we anticipated. We spent nearly four hours there and didn't see everything. We pretty much had the place to ourselves which was awesome. There was quite a bit of walking but the kids never complained (I think the newness of it all kept them going) and we all had a great time. Perfect way to keep the kids occupied on a day filled with so much anticipation.

We passed a photo booth on our way out and decided to give it a try. It's getting more and more difficult to fit us all in those tiny booths. We barely managed, through fits of laughter, to get a bit of each of us in every shot.
