Boo at the Zoo

The kids were so excited for Boo at the Zoo!  Sam and Ava were excited that their cousins Ezra and Evelyn came with us.

Mom was planning to wear jeans, boots and a puffer vest.... but dad and Sam insisted mom dress up as well.  Upon arrival, the percentage of parents who dressed up was probably less than 1% - but Sam told mom that she was the coolest pirate so i will say it was worth it!!!!!

 Riding the (tiny) Carousel

Sam wasn't too thrilled with this - he tolerated it!  It is such a small carousel - tight circles - mom and dad were dizzy after the ride!!!

 

 All the dressed up characters - panda bears, giraffes, and penguins, to name a few, were a big hit as well as the free candy.  Sam, Ava, and Ezra loved this panda bear and gave him lots of love and prodding!

 Watching the Penguins eat was a hit!  Love all the tails lined up!

Daddy's purchase of cotton candy (at 10:15 am?!) was a hit with the kids - the second he put it down to take a picture - the little skunk was in it in a flash!!!!!

All in all, it was fun, but 2 hours was plenty with 4 little ones and all the crowds!
