Friday afternoon we found a fun event at Zootah (formerly Willow Park Zoo). They were doing a whole reindeer, Christmas, and hot cocoa event. We were able to meet a real reindeer! They are beautiful creatures!
Kelton was so confused as to why the reindeer wasn't flying but was just standing there. He's just saving his magic buddy.
The kids were able to sit on Santa's lap...even though they weren't all thrilled by it, Kelton's eyes lit up when he first saw Santa around the corner. I can't wait for Breakfast with Santa when he gets to meet the jolly man again.
Inside they had some crafts for the kids to do. They decorated reindeer candy canes, played reindeer hoops, and made cards for soldiers. This is Kelton's card. Nothing says, "Merry Christmas!" like a monster hiding inside of a basket!
We also met a horned owl, which was pretty cool.
Back outside the kids helped themselves to round two of free hot cocoa, then we had a jumping contest. I was humbled to realize that my two girls jump the same distance as I do! We are all three kangaroo rats!
Jeremy made it a little farther and is a cottontail rabbit...a strong, manly rabbit.
Six of the grandkids climbing on the empty bolt was just as exciting for them as seeing the animals!
