Zoo Lights at the Chaffee Zoo

 

The Chandler/Nickell/Trevino family had an adventure last night, we went to the Chaffee Zoo to see the Zoo Lights. We stopped for dinner at Bravo Farms on the way to Fresno. We felt like we were on vacation with the unique atmosphere.

Then we continued on and arrived at the zoo.

First, we checked out the reptile house, this viper was huge!

A cute newt.

There were lights all over and it was pretty, they were also giving away hot chocolate and cookies at the treat station.

It started raining on us, but thankfully it didn't last long.

They had a touch pool with rays and sharks.

This tunnel was at the end of our walk through the zoo, it was cool!

 

We had a fun time and enjoyed the lights. We didn't see many animals besides the reptiles and rays, but it was still cool to be there and see all the lights.

Rain, rain, rain

It has been raining at our house since Saturday. Things lightened up tonight, but the rain is supposed to continue through Wednesday. This is our flooded walkway, the low part in a flooded back yard. We have been running a pump off and on to try to drain the water.

Our pool was filled to the brim and later started seeping over.

The creek is swollen.

Back on the walkway, the water covered my shoes.

Although the flooding isn't good, particularly in places where they got more rain than we did, I have been enjoying the rain the past few days. It's so cozy, especially with 2 new books to read.
