Today we went to Zoo Boo (the Halloween festivities at the Zoo) with our friend's the Westover's and had a lot of fun despite the cold, wet weather! The kids wore their costumes, got lots of candy and treats, and watched some scuba divers carve a pumpkin with the fish.
Here is Cody the Turtle and Kylee the Ladybug all bundled in a million layers of clothing and ready for some fun! Cody's shell was on the outside of his coats. The warm clothing always seems to ruin the effect of costumes doesn't it?
After you go through the main entrance you come to the steepest escalator ever! As I have said before: the hills are crazy here! So you either have to take this escalator or an elevator to get from the main entrance to the actual zoo.
While we waited for our friends we rode the escalator because Kylee didn't want to get off.
Inside the Aquarium there is an open tank where you can pet the Sting Rays. Steve and Cody and Kylee were hanging around the tank waiting for a Sting Ray to get close enough so they could touch it. Sometimes they are on top of the water and sometimes they are down in the water and you have to reach down to touch them. Finally, a Sting Ray was swimming at the bottom of the tank right past Cody. Without thinking he quickly reached down into the water to try to touch it and got all 3 of his warm clothing layers soaked up to his elbow. It was pretty funny.

ANOTHER fun activity!? That sounds great, and your kids fit right in with their animal costumes! It always bums me out when my kids look so cute in their costumes, then you have to put on five layers of clothing over them to keep them warm. Oh well, it beats freezing! So how did Cody do the rest of the time all wet? That sounds cold and uncomfortable, but then again, sting rays do feel pretty awesome!
