A Day at Zoo Atlanta

Damien and Lisa : )

"Why did Luke sit on the egg?  'Cause he didn't have a chair!"

"Hi, Mr Gorilla!"

"I touched him!"

Looking at the tiger

Touching the Red Boa (I think)

Yay!  A baby elephant

ROAR!

Luke heard me mention the zoo last week, and everyday since, he has said "I want to go the the zoo, Mommy".  We started a countdown: we can go the the zoo in 5 days, 4 days, 3 days, 2 days, tomorrow (and yes, Damien is probably sick of hearing me sing "Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow and we can stay all day!")  
Luke told us he wanted to see the elephants, monkeys, gorillas, lions and pandas.  He was not disappointed.  It was loads of fun and we were able to see most of the exhibits pretty well.  After looking at each animal for a while, he would ask to touch it.  And although I'm sure he thought he'd want to touch the rhino, I'm glad that the only touching option was the snake! 
 

 

Trick or Treat!

So excited!

Checking out all the costumes

Talking to Kiki the Clown

Colby and Luke ready to roll

Official first house of Trick or Treating

He immediately recognized Darth Vader, but this was  close enough

Luke couldn't stop talking about Princess Leia

Checking out the loot

We went to Kristin and Chad's house for a Halloween cookout.  The kids went trick-or-treating afterwards.
Kids these days have it made:  they rode in the wagons from house to house, then hopped out to collect their candy.  It was a great neighbor for trick-or-treating and Luke really enjoyed it!
