The pictures show that the kids enjoyed a lot. Its always fun to dress them up and take them out. Even if they look like marshmallows! 🙂

It sure was fun! The girls are STILL talking about how we only found 3 of the 6. Maybe we’ll go back and search for the others, haha!

Aren’t they great? It’s a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season.

Yes! They do a great job every year. The heart scavenger hunt was a nice touch in 2018!

Yes, totally true! Comfort > fashion

HA! Well the good thing about base layers is that no one sees them! So adults could totally rock jammies underneath too.

Aw, thank you Melissa! You’re too sweet. I hope you make it to Oregon – I’m biased, but I think it’s one of the best of all 50. 🙂

I lived in California for a while as a student and one of my best friends was from Portland. (I’m British and have never had the chance to visit your state!). Will have to be sure to make it there in the next few years.

The tip on having kiddos wear pajamas as a base layer…if only that were normal for adults. I don’t know that I’ll ever visit Portland in the winter, but I’ll definitely consider visiting the ZooLights if I do!

If you look like a marshmallow but are warm I would definitely call that a win. I would rather be over prepared than freezing. Christmas is always a great time of year. We did a similar event in DC last year for the zoo lights. I don’t think we had as many lights as you all had though.
