A NIGHT AT THE ZOO

                                            ZOO NIGHTS AND LIGHTS
A night at the Gladys Porter Zoo. Even though the animals were "in the dark"
literally, we toured the zoo to see the Christmas lights. The tour is only held three nights, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sadly, it rained on Friday this year.



The Gladys Porter Zoo is an oasis nestled in the center of Brownsville, Texas. With 26 acres of lush tropical plants and some 1,600 animals, the Gladys Porter Zoo is known for its successes in breeding endangered species of wildlife.





The animals we saw at the zoo, Sunday evening, were of different colored lights. The walkways were lined with luminaries, of red and green.
 
Kettle Korn, turkey legs, hot dogs, bakery, and churros were there for those having a snack attack. Of course, Joe had a turkey leg!
 
A craft sale was held in one of the buildings, offering many Christmas decorations and gifts.
 
There were bands, singers and activities for the children.
 
Night at the zoo, without the animals! Enjoyable!
 

 
 
 
So tiny---- Flat Stanley is sitting in the elephant's trunk!
Night pictures are difficult, these are the ones that turned out the best!
