BOO AT THE ZOO 2013

Holding daddy's elephant tail
What does the fox say?!


Dancin' and shakin' his tail...
Fox on a fox!
Hiding in the woods...
Costume parade and dance party


Light saber glow stick fight with Manu and Leo (Transformers!)
(Yes, James is picking his nose. We told you to stop that buddy. Now it's on the blog because this is the only group photo I got all night where you're all facing the camera...)




So, she pretty much had 1-2 pieces of candy in her hands/mouth ALL NIGHT LONG. When we tried to take them away or offered to hold her candy pail, she screamed "That's MY candy!" She has a sweet tooth just like her namesake (Grandma!) and Grambot and mama... James, on the other hand, ran around all night and didn't ask for a single piece of candy until he got in the car to go home. And he ASKED for a piece. Sometimes I wish their personalities had a "mesh" button so we could avoid the extremes ;-)
 More evidence of the candy crazy Cora... Growling at me when I tried to take away the sucker...

 In summary, the kids highly enjoyed themselves tonight. They played games, danced, and ate candy. They rode the merry go round twice and the train once (and we again skipped the reportedly super scary haunted hayride). Jay and I, however, think we'll switch things up next year and visit the Children's Museum's Halloween party, since Boo at the Zoo seems to be going downhill in our eyes (this year there were less games, no bouncy houses, no costume contest, and they had set it up like a fair with tents selling items like glow swords and candy apples, and carnival rides that you had to pay extra for - a bit of a money grab if you ask us). What matters most is that the kids had fun though, so we're happy we went. P.S. Fleece costumes that fit as comfy as pajamas (or a Snuggi...) are pretty perfect for cold October nights!
