Festival of Lights 2010



River with her Aunt Cathy


River (and JoAnna and I) recently enjoyed our first visit to The Cincinnati Zoo's Festival of Lights with our friend, Cathy.  We have been enjoying the zoo quite a bit this year thanks to Cathy and Michael who gave us a family membership for Christmas last year.

All photos (with the exception of the first and last) were taken by Cathy.

All bundled up. 

Yes Cathy, I AM smiling. 



The reindeer were resting up for their big night.



River actually wanted to ride the shark but the girl in front of us picked that one. 



"I want to touch it.  I want to touch it."



Awe and wonder; both captured right here. 

That's one gigantic nutcracker!



Thank you, Cathy and Michael.  It was a wonderful gift.
