Boo at the Zoo

We went to the zoo where they had trick -or -treating for the kids, Kayla and I met Michael, Ruth, and Jacob there. Kayla was a princess/unicorn rider(it had straps that went on her shoulders and she fit inside it) Most tables we stopped at were places or venues from around town that gave out the candy. It was fun, kinda crazy, there were a ton of people there! They had a lot of stringed lights in the trees, no doubt preparing for Christmas! It was decorated pretty cute and festive for Halloween I thought. I just had my camera phone, I forgot, it does not have flash! So, I didn't get many good pictures. Dave has our camera in Ohio, I gladly let him take it. So, bear with me on the pics/video! I'll get a good picture of Kayla's costume and put it on here, she is so cute!!!

At one point we went by the loin's dens! That was fun because they had some spotlights inside the den and you could see the lions prowling. Usually when we go to the zoo they are sleeping, so it was cool to see them very awake at night. When we were passing by we could hear roaring. Some people commented on how it was kinda cool they had a soundtrack playing with roaring, but it was for real! I managed to find a place in the glass to see the daddy lion roaring powerfully and moving his head up and down as he did. He was about 10 ft away from me, but pretty close to the glass! Whoa, that was exciting! (I'm glad there was glass...)

Another highlight was that the kids got to see a porcupine up close. They had him on top of a cart with wheels. He looked so soft, but I had to tell Kayla quite a few times to NOT pet him! He was very cute!!! (In the picture the big brown furry thing is the porcupine, it might be hard to tell. And that's the back of Kayla's head!)

While waiting for a magician they had some music playing and Kayla and Jacob were rocking it out! This is kinda dark, my apologizes, but I thought it was so darn cute! Here's two videos of their music rhythm!
