festival of lights 2010




with frigid temperatures and a forecast for snow, we plowed forth with our plans to meet our friends, the burkholders, at the zoo for the festival of lights. as the snow began to fall and the streets covered quickly, we wavered but decided to brave it and head on out. it was snowing pretty good when we left our house, but luckily cincinnati road crews are much more efficient in the snow than newport, because the worst road conditions were from our house to the taylor-southgate bridge.

we (and the burkholders) arrived at the zoo safely, we discovered two things. one: that the festival of lights is GORGEOUS in the snow. and two: that not many other crazies brave the cold and snow to go to the zoo, so it was not crowded at all. perfect!! we had a great time checking out the sights with our friends. owen and greta mostly enjoyed playing in the snow that fell while we were there. thanks to the burkholders for a fun night!!
