Here are our New Years Eve pictures from our annual jaunt to see the lights at the zoo. It was a rather balmy sixty degrees out this year and little more crowded than in years past when it has been much colder. We had a fun time we stopped at Graeter's for ice cream on our way to the zoo. That seemed like a better idea than hot cocoa this year. While we were enjoying our ice cream cones I snapped a picture of this poster.

Meet Hanna the daughter of the late great snake Fluffy. They had a naming contest on line I voted for Fleecy but Hanna won out. The name is a tribute to Jack Hanna our Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Megan enjoying her super sour flffy stuff cotton candy. I took a handful expecting it to taste like traditional cotton candy not sour apples.

These pictures look better if you click on them to enlarge. These are the lights around the big lake at the zoo and about every 20 minutes they do a light show to music. The kids and I sat on benches at the West end of the lake to rest our feet and enjoy the show.

I'm so glad that the girls don't think they are too old to ride the carousel horses because I still enjoying watching them ride it's fun to try to snap their pictures as they race around and wave.

Wishing you all the best in 2011 and always...hugs from Ohio!
