Halloween 2011

I'm back to blogging finally.  We've had a crazy, wonderful, difficult, busy, fun several months with not very much time to spare.  Hopefully, I can catch up on posts.  I have posts of major events clear back to March that I need to post.  Does anyone else feel like life is flying by way to fast that it's near impossible to catch up or stay caught up with life?  Now back to the blog.

Halloween ZooBoo
On our way in the car to ZooBoo.  The boys were so excited and so adorable in their costumes!!!  Halloween gets better every year as the boys grow and understand more.  There is nothing better than a mother seeing her kids so happy!



Nate always has the cutest expressions.  I cannot help posting all these pictures.  He has so much personality!  I never want to forget his sweetness and his love for life.  









Josh was so excited to be a Zebra.  He wore the costume everyday and raced around the house for almost 2 months.  A couple weeks before Halloween a friend thought it was so cute that he raced around the house practicing to be the "fastest zebra."  She asked him if he had seen the movie "Stripes," which he hadn't.  The following Sunday at church she gave him the movie to borrow.  He loved it and he became even more determined to be "the fasted zebra."  The next couple of weeks he was more specific about his costume.  He wasn't only a Zebra, he was "Stripes."




This was the first time the bats were actually awake, which is perfect for Halloween.  The wing span of these bats was almost 3 feet.


The boys loved the Tiger.  The tiger got right up to Nate over 30 times, at least.  At first Nate was a little surprised as the tiger got right into his face with only a few inches between them (mostly the glass).  It seemed if at first he didn't realize there was glass between them and he wasn't so sure what to do with this large cat.  Within a second he was laughing and completely fascinated with the tiger.  We watched the tigers for about an hour. 










The boys loved the penguins as well.  We've never spent that much time at the penguins.  We watched them for an hour as the penguins swam, jumped in and out of the water, fell on accident into the water, and laughed as the waddled around.

The boys also loved petting the Dog Sharks, which is always their favorite thing to do at the Zoo.

What a cute idea to take them to the zoo! Wish they had a Oz, so we could have taken our group there! :)
