Howl-O-Ween













We had a wonderful time at the Halloween event at the zoo this evening.  The weather was wonderful and Hayden wasn't hot at all in his costume.  Tons of people stopped us to tell us how great his costume was and a couple of people even took photos of him.  A lot of the animals were out this year which added some extra fun into the mix.  The female lion was right up against the fence watching all of the action and didn't mind her picture being taken at all.  The polar bears were out splashing and swimming in the dark, which Hayden loved.  The elephants were also checking out the action and seemed to enjoy watching the kids go by.  Hayden was a little scared of the men dressed in Star Wars costumes but nothing else really bothered him.  He politely went to each person with candy and said, "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you".  It was nice to watch him use his manners like such a big kid.  Here are some great pictures of the fun...Matt and I dressed as his biggest fans!
