Pre-Halloween Festivities - Take 2

The next big festivity that we did this weekend was Boo at the Zoo. It’s at the Atlanta Zoo and all the kids show up in costume. We went with the Next Doors and their babygirl and some of their friends. Ended up being five couples and five little girls. Babygirl was fascinated with the activity. She was especially fascinated with the lemurs. Mapgeek held her (as we did throughout the zoo – she likes to be held, not ride in the stroller) and they looked at the lemurs play and jump around. I think it’s because she can see them since they’re black and white. And we meandered around for a couple hours.

It’s been several years since I or Mapgeek have been to the zoo. It still depresses me, though there have been a lot of improvements in the last 10 years. Willie B isn’t there anymore, but Atlanta has two panda bears now. I can’t wait for Babygirl to be a little older and take her back! Atlanta is also getting ready for the grand opening of the new aquarium. I think it’s the largest blahblah-something in the US or world. Now, aquariums I love!

Sunday afternoon, we met up with the Grandparent P’s for some lunch and prime photo ops. At their church, there is an annual pumpkin sale, where they pile hundreds and hundreds of pumpkins out on the lawn with hay, etc. Looks like a big pumpkin patch. So, we dressed up Babygirl in her little cat costume and took her over to get some pics in the pumpkins. Unfortunately, she can’t quite sit up straight and doubly unfortunate, she was enthralled with the hay she was sitting on. So, most of the pictures have her pitching forward grabbing at the hay. But she’s cute as always!

This weekend, our neighborhood is having a Halloween party for the kids, down at the club house. We’ll dress up Babygirl yet again and head on down for the kid-fun. And lastly, Halloween is Monday! We’re definitely getting use out of this costume. I’ll let you know how the trick-or-treating goes!
