Monday we drove about an hour outside of Austin to the Exotic Zoo Resort. We took a guided Safari tours as soon as we arrived, and later on some friends and their kids joined us for an evening of ‘camping’ in the on-site cabins.

At dusk we drove to Johnson City to see the Christmas lights. Jacob was really hamming it up for the camera!
