Halloween Festivities Night #1: Boo at the Zoo

It seriously feels like we are having a Halloween Triatholon! There are so many activities going on and I really want to do them all. Last night we went to "Boo at the Zoo," tonight is our ward Halloween Carnival, and then tomorrow (in case you didn't know :-) is Halloween. The best thing is that the girl's costumes will definitely be worn more than once!

"Boo at the Zoo" was fantastic! The entire zoo was lit up with orange and green lights, there were jack-o-lanterns every couple of feet on the pathways, the cages were decorated, candy booths were all over where the girls got to practice saying 'trick or treat,' Halloween inflatables dotted the empty areas, and the children's zoo was filled with games and activities. They had a blast!Entering the zoo. They were so excited!
The decorations were great, though I think if we would have gone when it was dark they would have been even better.
Running through the inflatable haunted house.

Taylee was pretty excited when we found a black cat (she is dressed as a black cat while Bryns is a fairy witch).
Leaving the zoo. As you can see, their buckets are pretty full and they are both very happy :-)

super cute costumes! and isn't it great when they get to wear them more than once??

i think busch gardens is very kid friendly. ken's cousin takes her 6 and 3 year old all the time. there were a bunch of places we didn't have time to get to that were more kid oriented. we kept finding these little hidden places where no one was that were very cool. and you are so up close to a lot of the animals. it's not in orlando, so be prepared for a 45 min - 1 hour drive. it really wasn't bad, but if you're expecting a quick trip there and back you will be surprised.

I'm definately going to have to go to Boo at the Zoo with you next year. It looks very fun and kid friendly. Your girls are so stinkn' cute. I'm glad I got to see them all dressed up...even if Brynlee fought it every time :)
