Fresno Zoo Boo

Saturday October 22nd we went down to Fresno for their annual zoo boo.

This was our first time going to the Fresno Zoo Boo.  When Aubrey was asked to write about her favorite Halloween memory she wrote all about the Merced Zoo Boo and after I read her adorable story I thought it was time to take them to a bigger zoo boo this year.  We have annual passes to the zoo but you have to still buy extra tickets for this event.  Our friends the Sparks live in Handford so we decided it would be fun to all meet up together.  It was a great night.  The zoo did a great job with decorations and at every station they had the best candy.  The kids loved running around checking out every activity.  It was also very cool because the event was at 5pm which is the time that most animals start waking up.  We got to see so many animals and even came very close to roaring lion which was by far the best part.  It was fun to get try out our costumes for the first time.  I was excited to have a theme this year.  Aubrey actually decided on the theme.  She found her bat girl outfit and wanted that then Carter decided on Spider man and the dad and I went with the theme and had fun.  My Captain America doesn't have to wear fake muscles he fills out his shirt quite well! 

Sometimes I think the kids like the statues more then the animals!

They had a Harry Potter land set up which was super cool! The real owl was amazing.

All the vendors had great table decorations.

This was the only group shot I got of the kids.

Carter, Aubrey, Charlotte (6), Jack (10), Sage (8) and Sam (4)

Once it got dark it was hard to take pictures. We did a hay maze and then the kids danced the night away with a fun DJ.

After the event we all went to have dinner.  Before we meet up at the zoo we had to hit up the new Cafe Rio in Fresno we are so excited!

What a fun day!
