Zoo Boo

Yesterday we decided to go to Binder Park Zoo and try out their Zoo Boo.  We tried John Ball last year and we were sorely disappointed.  I thought that there was going to be more of a definite candy trail, but there was just a lot of companies and places promoting their product who happened to be handing out some candy too... but Binder Park was a lot better!  They gave out some tokens at the beginning and there was a definite way that you could go and get LOTS of candy.  :)  Dude had a good time with it.  And I couldn't believe the weather!  We got the kids really warm costumes because usually October is a bit more fall like (unlike the 78 and sunny that it was), but they did all right.  Dude even got to ride a train there and he was SO excited.  :)  The thing I was really impressed about where the prices... I feel like most places like that will jack up the price on the extras inside the zoo, but they didn't at all, which was nice.  :)  I would highly recommend it for those with kids or anybody who wants to dress up and get some candy and see some animals.  :)  Here are lots of pics from our adventuring there.

Here are some of the animals we got to see:

Looking at some tamarins

There was the furry little guy!

I was impressed with his ninja abilities at jumping up and clinging to the  wall with nothing else to hold onto!

Our monkey climbing a 'tree'

Snow leopard is hiding in the rocks under the tree

Cheetah

Peacock on the loose!

Red panda... they look so fuzzy and cozy

Some pics of the kids around the zoo

We were looking at the snow leopard... not a great family shot haha.  But I think I'm looking pretty good for being 18 months pregnant!

On the candy trail... I love Dude's face

Checking out some animals and enjoying some Scooby Treats!

Dude and Papa rode the train and these are some of the sights

Waiting ever so patiently in line

All aboard!

He was so calm about the whole thing even though he was SO excited

Dinosaurs!

Did you know that there is a brontosaurus in Battle Creek!?  haha

What Dude calls the "Time Tunnel" from dinosaur train
