Zoo Boo

Stefanie and Oscar invited Christopher and I to go to the zoo the week before Halloween. The zoo was having "zoo boo," which means the kids are encouraged to wear their costumes. The zoo also hands out candy, but Chris didn't trick or treat--I decided to wait until he could talk for that...

Stefanie asked what Christopher was going to be for Halloween, and I told her "nothing" because I wasn't going to spend money for a costume. She had a costume left over from last year that Oscar wore, and said that Christopher could wear it, so he was a "little devil" for zoo boo.

Chris seemed to enjoy watching the animals (the ones that were close enough for him to see). He yelled "DAH!" at the ones that looked remotely like a dog, and "AHHHAHaaaahhh!" at all the other ones.

We went to the dolphin show. Chris and Oscar both discovered that the bleachers made great drums while we were waiting for the show to start. Chris was completely quiet, and very serious watching the dolphins swim and jump out of the water. When the audience would clap, Chris would turn around and look to see what all the noise was about.

After the zoo, we had dinner at the little pizza parlor in Westfield. Mike and Matt joined us for dinner. It was nice to get everybody together for a change :)
