Hunter Goes to Zoo Boo

This year we don’t get to be home on the actual date of October 31st so we wanted to get Hunter out trick-or-treating if possible.  We discovered Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek puts on a Zoo Boo every year, where they open up the Zoo to young children.  Not only do they offer a trick-or-treat trail but many other things like face painting, carousel rides, animals to see and even a small carnival.  We headed out a couple nights ago after work and Hunter really seemd to like it!  He loved watching the animals and especially liked the carousel ride.  We had a great time.

Hunter hits the Trick-or-Treat Trail

Pumpkins! One of his favorite words!

He showed no fear of the Peacocks and even gave chase.

Stopping at every animal pen to take a look.

The carousel was a big hit. He insisted on a second ride.

More animal watching. He had to be dragged away each time.

Zoo Boo is over and he was not happy about it.

Gearing up for Halloween

Piper loves Halloween and this year is proving to be even more fun with Hunter in the mix.  Sunday we went out to let him choose his own pumpkin.  He wasn’t in the greatest of spirits but we all had a nice time nonetheless.  We went to “Gene The Pumpkin Man” in Kalamazoo which is a local legend.  He has absolutely everything painted orange.  Including his barns, the inside of his house, his tractors and even his two pumpkin orange Cadillacs.  This is his 51st year of selling pumpkins in Kalamazoo and the surrounding areas.

Later in the week we spotted a couple of wild cows out in the pasture and we just had to take a picture.

Take care . . . .
