BOO at the ZOO

Yesterday we took the kids to the Boo at the Zoo Halloween event here. It was so much fun. This was the first time we have gone and I was impressed with how much work they put into it. They had all kinds of Halloween games, a maze, pumpkin carving, a train ride (which we didn't get to go on because the line to go was way too long, so sad), and tons of other stuff. We didn't get to do everything because there were a million people there, but the kids still had a blast! I don't think Annika is too keen on crowds though because after awhile she started waving her hand and saying "Bye! Bye!" It was pretty funny. Ezra and I also got to pet a possum, so that was pretty cool (and kinda gross!)

We ran into Josh, Sarah, and Dylan in the parking lot so we were lucky to spend the night with them too! Ezra dressed up as a mouse, Dylan went as a ghost, and Annika went as Tinker Bell. Ezra even wiggled his nose for a nice "mouse" effect.

I had to take a picture of this guy because his costume was pretty great. 

The boys are checking out an enormous spider!

Before we left we got a package from Grandma which had Halloween treats and these pillow cases she made. They are so cute, what a great idea! Thanks Mom! I think she should make some for every holiday!! :)

On another note: Jonathan has one week to finish his dissertation and will defend it on December 9. Wish him luck!
