Zoolights in Phoenix

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we braved the cold (hahaha, that's a joke, since we were in Phoenix.  We had blizzards and record breaking cold at home in Winnemucca, but a very nice warm holiday down south.  Altho everyone there thought they were freezing ) we went to the Phoenix Zoo, with our son Luke, his wife Mara and daughter Cassandra,  to see....

Zoolights!

We had snow!

There is nothing as exciting as the first snow!

So pretty, so white, so fresh.

Of course, there is excitement in trying to find gloves (where did we put them last spring?), boots, snow shovels, ice melt...

I was up at 5:00a.m.

You can tell the difference in color as the sun comes up--dawn to early morning.

Beer Tasting Party!

Last night we got together with old friends and had a beer tasting party. All of those invited were asked to bring a certain kind of beer and an appetizer and to come and watch the Boise State/Fresno football game on the big screen TV. It turned out to be an embarrassing football game to watch if you were rooting for Fresno, but since none of us were, it was a good night.

Pictures only.
