Zoo Lights & Polar Express

This year during the holidays we decided to attend Zoo Lights and to go on the Polar Express in Hood River.  We have been to zoo lights before and again it did not disappoint.  The train ride was so much fun and walking around the zoo was amazing.  I still don't know how they put up and take down all those lights.  Here are a few pictures from our adventure:

The next evening we drove to Hood River around 2:30 to get to the 4:30 departure of the Polar Express.  It was so much fun.  Neither of the kids liked the hot chocolate so we drank theirs too (good thing we brought some peppermint schnapps for the adults)!  The trip was a lot of fun and both kids hugged santa and thanked him for their presents.  After the train we went to Double Mountain Brewing and had pizza and beers.  It was such a fun night.

Here are a few pictures from our adventure:
