Zoo Lights and Windows!


After our third attempt to making it downtown to see the Christmas windows at Macy's, the weather finally cooperated. Our family visits the window displays and Zoo Lights every year and for the past few years we have been going with Aunt Rita and Uncle JP.

This year the Christmas story that was on display was rather unusual, in fact no one really understood the storyline! It was about a Christmas tale in a futuristic city, we think!
After the windows we stop to see the City's gigantic Christmas tree in Daley's Plaza! We love smelling the wonderful scents of pine! Then, we head over to Lincoln park soon for the awesome light displays and a quick dinner. This year they had two cool Christmas light shows, the lights flickered to the music! By the seals' tank, there were two rows of Christmas Trees that were lit up with different colored lights that flickered to music being sung by a choir, so it looked like a choir of singing trees! It was very cool!


Each year we stop by the ice sculptures. Unfortunately, the men who carve the ice had just finished, so we only got to see the finished product not actually see them carve the ice. Each ice sculpture was beautiful! I wonder what I could make out of an ice cube?
Until next year...

Have a Happy New Year!!!

Great family tradition. It looks like a lot of fun things to see and do. Glad you didn't miss out on it this year!
