for the main event, we gathered at a friend's neighborhood and trick or treated in a big group. the kids had an absolute BLAST. it was a little chaotic, and we had a few minutes when we lost the boys, but all in all, it was great. afterwards, we went to applebees and enjoyed some yummy ice cream sundaes.
saturday was a great day. the weather this fall has been glorious, warm, sunny and the scenery has been picture perfect with all the fall colors. we took a trip to the zoo, knowing that there may not be too many days left this year with good weather. amy still had her zoo membership, so she and avery joined us. they had scheduled pumpkin feedings for several animals, so we parked ourselves in front of the tiger cage in the hopes of some violent pumpkin maulings. from my vantage point (i could barely see), i heard some growling and kids yelling, "bite it! eat it!" i don't think the tiger was all that impressed by it, although it was a bit of a novelty. the meercats were fun to watch, and the river otters were a little bored after some initial investigating.

Hey my friend, you really have the most beautiful little ones! What a cool zoo! I am so jealous, our zoo is such a sad little thing! LOL! Happy birthday my friend!
