Boo at the Zoo

We went to the Zoo again this Halloween with the entire family.  We had ourselves the most darling little Teddy Bear and cutest Dragon I've ever seen.

Ah, a 2 1/2 year old...no patience for a photo with his mommy :(

First stop - the me round go (as Jude calls it).

Had to include this - classic Kitty's funny Mommy face.  It never gets old.

These boys were very interested/confused by these puppets.

Especially when one of they started talking to me and calling us by name!  We knew the puppeteers. Hence these next couple pics...hi Rae and Jess!

I am convinced that this is where Jude's fear of owls started.  He was totally creeped out by the huge owl knowing him by name.  His fear of owls is quite comical - the neighbor's fake owl over his garden causes complete hysteria when Jude looks at it out his bedroom window at night.

Besties.

Just posing.

Jude thoroughly loved the princesses...ahh, young love.

This was his first year of understanding trick or treat -- he was a pro by night's end.

Daddy's absolute favorite.

One hot Teddy.

Precious boy.

Trying to bribe Jude to get in a picture with them!

Dance party!

And I seriously saved the best for last.  This is the geriatric/sweltering/dead (?) bear.  He was slumped over on a bench not moving at all.  I sure hope the person wearing him was ok!
