Boo at the Zoo ~

Went down to Denver for Boo at the Zoo on October 25th!  We got there 1/2 an hour before they opened, and they were already letting folks in, so we scored a great parking space, and enjoyed the zoo before hardly anyone was there! 

It was a gorgeous day...nice and cool in the morning, but then it warmed up to 85 degrees.  A great day to be at the zoo!

Jordyn trick or treated at a lot of booths, played some games, and had a good time checking out all the animals!

This new tapir was born in May (when my preschool came for a visit), so i was excited to have Jordyn meet him.  Baby Baku was hanging out with mom, basking in the sun, so we got a good view of him.  Jordyn liked him so much, she bought a stuffed Baku at the gift shop on our way out and its adorable :)

The monkeys were probably my favorite!  One of the zoo curators came out and told us to make sure we check out the monkeys inside, as they just received their "Halloween enrichment!"  And boy, did they ever!  They had pumpkins, jack o lanterns, trick or treat bags and buckets, streamers and other assorted goodies, and they were totally fascinated with them!

This is Sally...shes in her 30's and was totally hilarious!  She sniffed around in this bucket and when she realized it was empty, she focused on the pumpkin.

She banged and banged on the pumpkin until it broke open...then she decided she didnt like it!  :)

Inside primate panorama, this little orangutang was swinging around on the ropes looking in all the treat bags and then she decided to decorate herself in the orange and white streamers!

Then in another exhibit, this guy was totally munching down on this jack o lantern, when his little "ghost" buddy ran over to him and scared him!

hahahahha...take a good look at the ghost...he's wearing Harry Potter sheets!  :)

Not a lot of people knew what Jordyn's costume was, so we were very excited when we ran into a Dalek and the Tardis!  The kids were happy to pose for a photo!

This talking pumpkin was hilarious!  There was a hidden camera somewhere, so he could see you when you walked up to him, and he would start chatting with you.  He recognized the "Doctor", and happily took a photo with us!  He also thanked us for putting his pants back on, as the orange sheet had blown off and me and another guy helped put it back up...that made us all laugh!

What another great Boo at the Zoo adventure!  After the zoo, we hit up Barnes and Nobles for some new books, and then went back to Christy's for a Doctor Who marathon and Chinese food leftovers that we had ordered the night before!  Thanks for an awesome time Christy!
