Holiday Magic at the Zoo

We had wanted to go to Holiday Magic at the Brookfield Zoo before Christmas, but we were just a little too busy. So, instead we bundled up and went last night. It was an experience to say the least. Grace really wanted nothing to do with the real animals, but insisted on taking pictures and going back to see the dressed up ones at the main entrance. They did have a musical laser light show and Grace showed off her dance skills for that and we ended our trip with a visit to see the monkeys, which always makes her happy. It was fun to see the Zoo all lite up at night! What made our night though was the drive home...Grace LOVES music and singing. We have been seen that more recently than ever! I listen to the Taylor Swift CD often and she soaks all the songs up like a sponge. One of her newer songs came on the radio last night and Grace sang right along. I tend to skip this song on the CD, so the fact that she knew it surprised me. She was singing with expression and getting the words right. Bryan and I were laughing so hard! What a smart little cookie we have on our hands :)

All bundled and ready to go!
