Zoo Boo

We did the zoo boo again this year.  I'm not sure what happened to the month of October but all of the sudden it was almost over!  I guess I had been basing everything off of getting my marathon taken care of that after that I kinda lost touch with reality.  Oops!

The kids 'trick or treating' at Nancy's house before we all went to the zoo boo

Anyhoo, we wanted to take the kids out and do something but we have been sick for quite awhile and wasn't sure what we could do.  But, we figured that the zoo boo was a safe bet and it was a nice way to get out and do something but not have it be an all night thing.  I didn't have time to make more costumes so we just used the same dinosaur tails and hoodies from last year... and, they actually fit better!  Dude's sweater was a little small, but he made it work ;)

We did get a chance to go with our friend Nancy and anytime you can make the adult ratio the same as the kid it's a winner.  It was nice having her with us too because the kids were so excited to have her along for another adventure.  The girls were pretty tired and cold so we put them in the wagon and they snugged in a blanket.  Lucy was so cute when we walked through to get candy she would just hold her bucket out and say, "trick or treat" as we pulled her past and then put her bucket back in the wagon.  Norah I think passed out as we were walking back to the car but she stayed dry the entire time which is always a plus!

Before they did the maze

We were sad that the train wasn't running because out of all the years that we've gone I haven't yet ridden the dang thing!  But, we did get tokens to ride so maybe we will go back and ride it again some other time.  :)

Norah passed out

I'm not sure what it is but the actual day of Halloween is always so yucky... snow or raining or something.  Because when we went out Thursday night it was pleasant (little chilly but it IS the end of October) but on Friday rain rain rain and then snow!  Gross.  So, I'm glad we went out the night before and the kids could get some candy.
