Boo at the Zoo surprise

We wanted to do something fun as a family and decided to go to the Zoo.  Daddy had not seen the new baby elephant yet. When we arrived we realized it was the annual Boo at the Zoo.  It was packed and all the kids were in their costumes.  Noah was very disappointed he did not have his Black Spiderman costume with him.    As we walked in one of our local radio stations was handing out bags.  They were playing Thriller and to the embarrassment of my husband I started doing the dance.  The DJ's started doing it with me.  It was pretty awesome.

They also have a new baby Columbus monkey that is pure white and her mother holds her close to her black fur.  It was really cute.  Noah and I witnessed two spider monkeys wrestling in the trees.  They were really pounding each other.  Noah talked about it the rest of the time there.

Daddy did get to see baby Zuri,  the cutest baby elephant ever.  I begged him for a pet baby elephant but he stood his ground.  He was duly impressed with the baby.  I think all three of us would have had conniptions if he did not love her as we do.

We saw the cougars which Noah got a huge kick out of.  The penguins which I love and all along the way we got to Trick or treat.  I was really super dooper fun as Noah says.

We ate lunch up by the tigers.  We had yummy ham and cheese sandwiches, grapes, carrots, juice and yummy cookies for dessert.  That is when it started to rain.

Noah said he was tired and Sofia was rubbing her eyes.  So we made our way back to the car.  When we arrived their was Santa Claus greeting us at the door.  It was a bit of a let down that he was gone now.  Noah said it was a good reminder of fun things to come.

We had a lovely time.  We spent the rest of the afternoon, cleaning, napping and just hangin out together.
I made Wassil and oatmeal cranberry white chocolate chunk cookies.  Which ended the day just splendidly.
