Boo at the Zoo

We have gone to Boo at the Zoo since Thad was a baby.  We had to start the new tradition with Ollie too.  We went opening night and as always had a great time.  Thad has been talking about being Woody for the past few weeks and when I took him to the store to pick it out, we left with Iron Man.  I think he saw the mask and thought it was cool and I wasn't going to argue with him (even though I think he would have made a cute Woody!)  


Oliver is wearing Thad's first Halloween costume.  He makes a pretty cute giraffe. 


Thad is usually afraid of the characters but this year he wanted his picture with all of them.


This one cracks me up.  These two characters freak me out just looking at them!



The zoo had about 30 trick or treat stations.  It's a safe and fun place to trick or treat.  It's also fun seeing all the other costumes.  Two years ago when Thad was Elmo we went by the Lion cage and one of the lion's jumped up and pawed at our little Elmo.  It freaked everyone out and I grabbed Thad like it was an open glass and the lion was going to eat him! This year the lions weren't liking the costumes either and they were growling on the other side of the glass.  I'm glad there is a thick piece of glass between them and us!


Love this little Iron man!


Oliver slept through most of it, but towards the end he came out to play.  I was holding Oliver and a little girl walked by and said, "look mommy, she is holding a baby giraffe!"  The mom explained to her that is was just a baby in a costume :)


Thad got these cool vampire teeth and had to try them out.



Thad and Liv.  Liv is a friends daughter and is a dancer and was one of the zombies that danced to Thriller by the graveyard.  


If you ever get a chance go to Boo at the Zoo! Or you can come visit us at Halloween and we can all go!
