Hollywild's Christmas Lights

Last week, we packed up the car and ahead to Hollywild Animal Park. The have a fantastic lights display for Christmas. You drive through the lights display, and then head into the "Enchanted Deer Forest." There, you can roll down the car windows and feed lots of animals that are roaming around. These are some of the critters we encountered.

Just after the picture below was taken, I said, "Watch out, that zebra might bite!" Eli then proceeded to jump under the steering wheel as far away from the window as possible. We managed to persuade him back up without too much trouble! Then, we headed to "The Walk." There we enjoyed feeding and seeing lots of other animals, visiting Santa, and hot chocolate on a very cold night! This was the first successful trip to visit Santa that my kids have experienced. They both walked up to Santa. Ashlynn asked Santa to bring her a Barbie. Eli asked Santa to bring him batteries because Ashlynn needed new ones in her Tag reader pen. His thoughtfulness was too precious! Pepa, Gigi, and Aunt Caralee were with us to enjoy a fun holiday evening. I look forward to going back year after year!
