Boo at the Zoo!

Bebe and Papa came over on Saturday to celebrate Mama's 30th birthday with all of us. We had an incredible day - birthdays are always fun for the whole family! We walked to downtown Decatur and had a huge breakfast on the patio at Pastries A Go-Go. Then I helped Mama open her never-ending bag of presents from Bebe and Papa. Mama and Bebe went shopping in Decatur while I napped.

When I woke up, Mama said we were going to spend the rest of the night at the zoo! They were having a special Halloween party called Boo at the Zoo and boy was it fun! I woke up too late to get decked out in my Handy Manny costume, but instead just threw on my fireman's hat for a last-minute costume. I got to Trick or Treat, take my first ride on a spooky train, hug lots of stuffed characters, play with toys, see some animals and ride on Daddy's shoulders. We had so much fun I never wanted to leave! Luckily we had this one last fun day together before Mama started feeling really rotten. Little did we know she would be couch-ridden for the next two weeks when she woke up Sunday. At least we had this incredibly fun and exciting day!!

Man it is just no fun walking around with Papa!

I looked a little perplexed/constipated about BooTown:

My first Trick-or-Treating experience! I loved saying "Trick-or-Treat" and then "Thank You!" after I got each delicious candy treasure:

"Mama, hurry up with the unwrapping! I am dying to eat my first AirHead!!!"

Mmmm, it's as good as I dreamed it would be:

One of my favorite activities of the night was watching the carousel with Papa:

"Oooh, Bebe - did you say we are going to ride on a CHOO-CHOO TRAIN?!!?!?"

I was much happier about riding on the train in Bebe's lap than this picture shows. Promise. And I loved it even more once we got going - I loved the spooky lights and creatures and just finally going on a train ride!

Making new friends while playing with a train:

I found Handy Manny and Pat, Mama!

Here are a few of the fun animals I got to hug. I even liked sharing my hat with them:

There were even bubbles for me to run through!

Have a very

Happy Halloween!
