Zoo Boo 2008!

We had so much fun at Zoo Boo this weekend! Zoo Boo is an annual Indianapolis Zoo event (That we'd never gone to before) where they have special Halloween events and kids come in costumes and trick or treat at the animal exhibits. My kids were especially excited to dress up! Morgan was a bride, Emma was Cinderella, and Carter was a rhino.

Here is my young bride with her bridesmaid, Cinderella.


This was taken immediately after getting out of the van when we first arrived and I was so excited to see them all in their costumes. Carter wasn't too fond of the rhino head hat to begin with and kept trying to pull it off, but after we got going and he got distracted, he was OK.


Here is my little rhino checking out the sea lions! He was obviously impressed!


Is this the beginning of a joke or what? "A bride, a rhino and Cinderella walk into the zoo...."

Emma getting some hard earned candy at the giraffe exhibit.

Carter eagerly anticipating the start of the dolphin show. (Just look at the utter glee on his face!) I couldn't stop taking pictures of him in this outfit, it was so stinkin' cute! Just look at that horn! HA

We went with our friends, the Arnetts, which brought with it a few more possible punch lines with the addition of a bat and Tinkerbell! I'm thinking something along the lines of "Holy Rhinocerous, Batman!" (Hayden's costume is so cool...his wings are a black umbrella!)

"Oh no! That rhino escaped from his cage! Good thing that man in the Colts shirt captured him!"
Long lost cousins!

In the underwater dolphin viewing zone (where some of our favorite cousins, The Macks, were engaged just a few short years ago......and who are now expecting their first baby in May! YAY!)
As part of Zoo Boo, there was a Party Pavilion complete with Hay Bale Maze, Bouncy House, pumpkin bowling, a DJ, and refreshments. So cute.

After we left the zoo, we headed to Greenfield to meet up with Chris' good friend Chad and his wife Sarah (and kids Zach and Anna) to eat at Cracker Barrell (yum!) and then went to see Uncle Bob and Aunt Pam's beautiful new home in Greenfield. We got home around 8:30 and put 3 very tired kids (and a couple of tired parents) to bed!
