Zoo Boo!



This past Friday and Saturday the Fresno Chaffee Zoo hosted it's annual Zoo Boo event. The Zoo opens from 5-8:30 pm and local vendors and organizations set up tables at which the kids can walk around and 'trick-or-treat'. While the candy at the tables is the cheap stuff there are a few goodies for the grown-ups as well. (i.e. Tahoe Joes $5.00 off coupon for an appetizer, CPK free kids meal coupon).




We had debated some time ago about whether or not we would be attending based on the arrival of Jack and fortunately for us he showed up a little over a week earlier than expected which gave us time to knock the newness off of him. We arrived at the Zoo about 4:50pm and were dismayed to see a line extending well into Roeding park. As we approached the tail end of the line the gates opened and the attendees of the event flowed into the zoo like water through a dam break.




This was Grace's first trick-or-treat experience and we attired her in a costume fit for her family.

We couldn't make it more than a few steps without grace getting comments about her costume. Simple as it was you don't see a lot of 2 year old UPS service Providers. She did a great job and looked good doing it. As for Jack he just hung out in the sling on Katie and slept through almost the entire time. We made a few loops around the Zoo and Grace saw her monkeys and elephants and tigers and giraffes and zebras and then it was time to go. With all there was to see at the zoo I think grace was most excited about the large inflatable pumpkins as we entered and exited the zoo.
