Boo at the Zoo

Tom is in Mexico on a business trip, but we were feeling pretty stir crazy this afternoon, so the three of us loaded up the new wagon (minus the roof) and ventured out for Boo at the Zoo.

The graveyard was a little scary...


We went to the Children's Zoo area for a Halloween show.

I had not realized until tonight how much Charlotte loves animals. She lost her mind when the various animals (armadillo, snake, rats etc) came out on stage.
She REALLY loved the tree kangaroo. The baby was born in January, but emerged from the pouch for the first time in July. He's about half the size of his mother at this point, yet manages to still squeeze into the pouch.

Nicholas took a turn pulling on the way to dinner...though it's quite heavy on the uphill path!

On the dinner menu was "Cookie in a Costume", which was plain sugar cookies that you could frost and sprinkle. Few in the world love sprinkles as much as our boy.

The was a mechanical skeleton playing the organ. Or as Nicholas referred to it - the "oregon". They also handed out "globe sticks" as party favors. :)

Fun was had by all, and we'll definitely be returning with Daddy before Halloween!
