The first and last picture of Baron with his monkey hood on. He absolutely can not stand things on his head.
So we decided to go to Boo at the Zoo. A great venue for us to show off our little tiger and monkey. They had trick-or-treating stations set up throughout the zoo so it was excellent for Eva, who had been practicing trick-or-treating for a week. I was particularly fond of it too, because it was the perfect amount of treats without things getting absurd (like pillow cases of candy, um not gonna happen here.) I'm a real witchy mom when it comes to treats. They had great little things of chocolate milk and trail mix and string cheese and of course all the goodies. I'll confess that Derek and I ate most of the "good" stuff while we left the "good for you" stuff for Eva. Plus it was just nice to see all of the animals and it gave Baron something to be interested in too. I think he trick-or-treated for a bag of Cheetos to give to his dad and that was the extent of the treat acquisition for him.
Derek pulled them in the wagon and maneuvered the not so terrible crowds quite well. The weather was absolutely beautiful!
He really didn't understand what the hub bub was all about.
It was a real magical day for that little girl. Treats, good. Animals, good. She had a special moment with a gorilla. She was up next to the glass and the gorilla pushed his face against the glass. It was actually really touching. The gorilla was so gentle and just mesmerized by Eva. They just stood there face to face for minutes. Eva still talks about the "beso" (kiss) from the gorilla.
Baron's semi-interest in the elephant.
The tiger stalks its prey. We saw the new baby elephant (not shown here) and she was so darling. She just laid there taking a nap next to her mommy.
This to me is the essence of Halloween. A bucket full of candy and a smile on a cute costumed face.
