Boo at the Zoo

Filed Under Eighteen Months, Halloween, Outings | 6 Comments

I know I talk a lot about how much I love our zoo. It’s free, seriously free. You can park for free (not in the lot but on all the streets around the zoo). The children’s zoo is free for the first hour the zoo is open. I love living in a city (okay, near a city) that has so many great things to do with kids!

This past Saturday, Jonathon and I took Bailey to Boo at the Zoo’s Spooky Saturday. They had free trick or treating, so we knew it would be crowded. We were lucky and got a close parking space, but we should have arrived earlier. We got there almost an hour after it started. I have to say, there were some hoosiers there who had their kids trick or treating without costumes. Also some adults were trying to get candy. At least bring a kid to hold the basket like we did! Bailey seriously got a lot of candy, so Jonathon and I have been snacking a lot lately

Bailey got to wear her frog costume. She loves it, and gets so excited to put it on. We need to do some work on her pumpkin because it’s cloth and has her name on it, but it hangs down and drags on the ground when she holds it. And of course, no one else is allowed to hold it.

The weather ended up being really nice. We got to see a few animals. My favorite is always the giraffes. Today they were close to the fence because people were feeding them leaves.

By the end of our time at the zoo, Bailey was worn out. She had eaten pretzels all morning (she got them in her pumpkin and it was better than feeding her candy that whole time!) and we had seen animals and she was ready for a snooze. But she was the cutest tired frog I have ever seen.
