Boo at the Zoo

Halloween events have been getting rained out left and right here, but fortunately it stayed dry enough for us to go to Boo at the Zoo Sunday. The zoo in Asheville is one of the largest in the States, but we only saw a few animals this time. The kids were having too much fun playing games, painting with water, playing on the playground, and riding the carousal to actually look at the animals! We had to insist on at least seeing the elephants and polar bear, and happened to walk by the ostriches, zebras, giraffes, and gorillas.

Chace is in a "too cool for school" phase right now, and thinks scowling for photos looks good. He's been having a lot of fun with his friend Jacob.

Obviously, we have been raising Alana right since out of all the different animals, she wanted to ride the alligator.

The boys were too cool to ride. Apparently swan seats are more manly.

Alana has gotten her picture taken on this bug for the last couple of years. Look how she's grown!

The zoo has this great playground with oversized vegetables to climb on.
