Last night we went to "Boo at the Zoo." Lots of different zoos hold a variation on this event and our local zoo is no exception. It's a chance for all the kids to dress up in their costumes the weekend before Halloween, come to the zoo to see the animals at night and collect a few treats. Mom and dad collected a few treats too!
Nate and Sean both chose a Star Wars theme -- no big surprise there -- and they became Clone Troopers for the evening. They were very specific Clone Troopers although I'll be darned if I can remember which ones. Here they wandered through a maze of haunted scarecrows, which weren't actually all that scary and that's just fine.
They weren't too frightened of the skeletons in the Small Mammal House either. Nate wanted to see the nocturnal animals, and the armadillos specifically. It's a bit difficult to get to Boo at the Zoo during rush hour on the subway so now that we know he's more interested in the animals than the trick-or-treating, we think we'll probably take him to the winter lights events instead. Those are a lot more manageable and easier to plan. Even so, we had a pretty good time.
