Halloween Weekend

I hope everyone had a great Halloween! We had a great weekend. Friday night we went to our trunk-or-treat party at our church building. The kids had a lot of fun. We hardly saw Savannah because she sat with other kids during the pre dinner span of time. Jaxon let me put his costumes hat on for a very brief period of time.

Savannah passed out quickly after leaving.
Saturday we headed to Boise for Boo at the Zoo. We heard this annual event is usually crazy busy and being from theme park towns we decided it was best to go before opening time. It started at 10 and we got there at 9:20 (we were 3rd in line). There were hardly any people there so we decided to feed these geese in the park first. There were a lot of them! Savannah also got a kick out of this statue in the park.

Boo at the Zoo was a lot of fun. Savannah loved seeing the animals, trick or treating all over the zoo and she really loved some of the other activities. Jaxon liked the dentists that gave out toothbrushes.
Savannah and her favorite tiger.

Petting and feeding the goats and sheep.
My favorite animal at this zoo. I want a wallaby.
The new baby giraffe.
Savannah wanted to do some of the extra activities like the bean bag toss and riding the carousel. I know she was a bit close, but she did get all 3 bean bags in and got 2 prizes.
My favorite part of the day was face painting. Savannah wanted to chat up life with the girl painting her face. She requested a cat on one side and a witch on the other cheek. Savannah was also very concerned that her artist only had one of her cheeks painted. I don't think this girl thought Savannah would take her up on the offer, but she said Savannah could paint her other cheek. You better believe the second Savannah's face was done she grabbed the paint brush and got a big blob of brown paint. She smeared it on this girl's cheek and it looked like a big poo smear. Savannah was very proud!

Sunday evening we watched Hocus Pocus and waited for trick or treaters. I was hoping they would come and Savannah would want to go out again, but no one came. Savannah and Jaxon passed out early so Noah and I watched tv together and ate candy... the way Halloween should end. :)
