Zoo Boo

When the calendar turns to October, most kids start thinking of Halloween. Dax is no different, although, in his case, it may have been instigated by us. He has enjoyed looking at Halloween costumes in the Party City ad, talking about what he might be, making and putting out decorations, and has decided he does not like witches in any form.

After considering the idea of a giraffe for awhile, he settled on being an astronaut. His costume came just in time to wear it to Zoo Boo at Como! A family friend gave us tickets and we went with a group of friends. It was a fun time and awesome to see so many kids out enjoying their costumes for more than the one night of Trick or Treating as well.

We have also enjoyed the festivities at the MN Zoo's Howlzooween. Dax, Addy, and I went once and enjoyed the decorations and "spooky" animal encounters (guinea pig, blue-tongued skink, and an owl skull), and we went back with Jake to try out the hay maze on the farm. The animals are different every time we visit and it is always a great time, but was even more special with the Halloween theme.
