Boo at the Zoo







Saturday we went to the annual Boo at the Zoo event. It was soooooo crowded. It was TOO crowded. We have never seen that many people turn out for it. I definitely think it's more fun with less people. It was next to impossible to find a park, there were long, long, lines for everything, and you could barely squeeze your way in to get a look at the animals. Of course you could just take a look around your personal space and see plenty of the human variety. It truly was a ZOO!! To give you a little bit of an idea, at one point I was sitting on a bench next to another Mom discussing the madness. She told me that her family had been to three different concession stands in the park trying to buy lunch. Well they were completely out of food at all three. Lucky for our family we had packed a picnic, which was actually the highlight of the day. Unless you ask Ethan. For him I think riding the train was the highlight of the day. The kids did seem to have fun and are already talking about our next visit. I guess that is all that really matters but I'll tell you what, if Hogle Zoo doesn't schedule Boo at the Zoo for more than one Saturday in October the Brunsdales won't be going again. After all, we're quick learners.

What??? The train was running? I didn't even see it with all the mobs of people. Lunch was for sure the highlight of the day. Remember the year we went to Boo at the Zoo and Scott managed to get a a bee sting right on his bum crack!!!!

I agree to bad we didn't see you guys. We got there before 9:00, And it was a ZOO!! We did have fun, and my kids did get all the candy they wanted. But the highlight for us as well,was the picnic in the park miles away.

So, if you're wonder who "the stotts" are, it's me. She was logged into my computer (BUG) and I didn't know it. Boo at the Zoo was a ZOO!

Well, if you have tights as cute as Meghans--you can wear that costume all year long! Love the Monster's Inc. Can I borrow that one?
