The Utica Zoo’s ‘Holiday Hoot’ [Pictures]

I had a chance to attend the "Holiday Hoot" at the Utica Zoo and I had lots of fun! 

One of my favorite places to go during the Christmas season is the Utica Zoo, and I got to see and do lots of fun stuff at the "Holiday Hoot."

Lots of kids got their pictures taken with the gingerbread men.

These children enjoyed watching this peacock strut her stuff.

Just Jenn and I got our pictures taken with Santa.

So did this family...
