As Connor and Cayleigh are still too little to actually go trick or treating, we decided to take them to the zoo instead. Our local zoo hosts "The World's Largest Halloween Party" every weekend in October and today we finally got the chance to go.
What it is:
"The World's Largest Halloween Party" is a partial walk through the zoo with various themes throughout. Their slogan is "be seen, not scared," so it is especially great for the littles in your family. Some of the themes include Disney characters, dinosaurs, video games, animals, etc. For each theme, there's also a booth or two giving out treats which can include candy, activity sheets, and little trinkets. It is very well attended and a local favorite for many families during the Halloween season.
What we thought:
Last year, we got the chance to take Connor, but he was still too young to really care what was going on. In fact, he fell asleep halfway through. This year, not only did he stay awake, he managed to walk more than half of it. Cayleigh was awake the whole time too, but was not in the mood to participate. (I think it had something to do with Geof stuffing her in her costume.) Overall, it was a fun family activity that is quickly becoming a family tradition. With more and more places limiting or frowning upon trick or treating and the safety aspect involved, it's nice to have somewhere safe and fun to take the kids.
I have to say that although Cayleigh doesn't look impressed she makes an ADORABLE lamb!
ReplyDeleteThanks! That's the face she made the entire hour and a half we were at the zoo.
