BOO at the ZOO!

This year for Halloween we took Lily to BOO at the ZOO! It was a lot of fun. They had a lot of sponsors and so we walked around and saw the animals and collected a lot of loot! It was a cool to see the animals in the snow and see them more active than during the heat of summer. There were a lot of really cool costumes. I like to see what people come up with. There were quite a few people that really liked Lily's golf ball! I have to say I thought she was rather cute! We will go back again!There were a lot of people at the ZOO. They had opened up a lot of extra parking and free shuttles to accommodate everyone. We were lucky and got a parking spot right by the entrance as someone was leaving as we were coming!
It was amazing to see the pride together. Usually when we go they are spread apart, but this time they really looked like a pride! The male higher than the females.

The wild dogs are always very hard to find, this time they were right up close! Lily enjoyed seeing the dogs. She always huffs when she sees dogs and this time was no different!
Tiger driving the ball! He sure can drive it far!
Once again another animal that was super close! The elephants were blowing leaves with their trunks in the pit right by the fence. I love to see the animals close up!
This was cool! The silver backs were entertaining this time. This one was sitting by the glass looking at the crowd. Then he saw another silver back coming and he took off running, slapping the grass as he did so. Plus having them so close made for some cool photos!
The caddy with the ball - my job was to clean and wash the ball!
The Hippo was showing off its amazingly big and sharp teeth. It was hard to get a shot of the mouth open, but I can testify that those teeth were incredibly scary!
Only the coolest golf ball ever! Lily sporting Dad's glasses and waving hi to Mom!


Watch that ball go!

Giving the Village Inn Bear a kiss. She is very friendly these days!
