BOO at the ZOO

This year we decided to go to the Denver Zoo for their annual Boo at the Zoo.   All the kids (and some adults) dress up and there are trick or treat stations for the kids to get candy.  Of course you can see all the animals too.  We were concerned that it would be pure craziness, and it was, but it actually turned out to be a blast.  It was a fun event for the kiddos!

The Gorillas were nuts at the zoo.  They would walk right up to the glass and just stare at us.  One of them kept throwing this giant frozen piece of ice (that looked like candy corn) at the glass. Another one would run full speed and throw his body at the glass or run by hitting the glass with his hands.  It was awesome, but freaking.  Scared the kiddos, that's for sure!!

While there I got really sad.  99% of all Halloween candy, given out, either has peanuts/peanut butter or are made in factory that processes peanuts.  Let me tell you how much Leo LOVED having his mother pull the candy out of his bag while he's grabbing for it. Even better, he watches as I give it to his sister!  Lucky we did the trade out with sweet tarts, and he seemed to be okay with that.  Needless to say, when we go trick-or-treating I will have a pocketful!
