Boo at the Zoo

One of the greatest things about St. Louis is our Zoo. Not only is it really really cool, it's free. The St. Louis Zoo has events year round, and for Halloween they have Boo at the Zoo. It's basically a safe, fun way to take the kids trick or treating. You get to see animals and get candy...what could be better?

We had a family field trip to Boo at the Zoo with our good friends Brad, Liz and their daughter Natalie. Amelia and Natalie are BFFs. It was a little chilly out, and to see most of the animals you had to follow the "trick or treat" path. No candy for Natalie & Amelia, so we stuck to the path less traveled and checked out the animals outside the lines.

The girls were good sports and seemed to enjoy themselves. When we were getting ready to leave, Fredbird (the mascot for the St. Louis Cardinals, for all you non-STL readers) was available for pics with the kiddos. Liz & I took the girls over, eager for the photo-op. Amelia was FREAKED OUT! She was wailing, trying to climb up my face. Needless to say, Amelia didn't get her pic with Fredbird. Maybe next year.

Enjoy the pics!
