Saturday was Zoo Boo, and my original plan of dressing up like Wreck it Ralph characters kind of didn't happen because of life's craziness so we borrowed my old dinosaur costume that my Mom sewed for me when I was about Coopy's size. It was perfect because he has been super into dinosaurs lately and told everyone he was a "sthegastharus" (a little lispy stegosaurus) and seriously so darling!! We went out to my parents to get the costume before we went to the zoo and he was SO excited, especially about the feet and tail, he would stomp around and "rawr" and would say "look ah my dine-saur tail" he wasn't too happy about the green face paint but he got over it really quick.
The weather was gorgeous; the zoo had different booths set up, pumpkin bowling, lots of little crafts, and stops along the way where they would ask you a question for a piece of candy, these were really the only ones Coop was interested in. He loved the little spook alley they had set up around the tree house, the lady said before we went in that "it was a little scary and the fun crafts were up the stairs" Coop walked right passed the stairs and through the spook alley. When we were done he said "do it again" and we had to walk through no less than five times, he would hear the scary sounds they had playing and gasp and say "wha wuz that?!" we practically had to drag him to the next area. He loved looking at all the animals and frequently would say "hold you" because his costume was pretty heavy and he was getting tired quickly. We ended at the new bear exhibit and then headed back to the truck so we could get him home for a good nap. During his nap time Ry and I got to hang out, a very rare thing for a Saturday, it was really nice.
That night we went to my parents' friends' Halloween party and had a blast. Ry was a bum and wouldn't dress up as Edgar Allan Poe to match my raven costume, so we just dug through my parents costume box and got a werewolf costume for him. Coop fell asleep on the way out there and stayed asleep while I helped my mom do her makeup and hair for the party. We had yummy food, which I wish I would have taken a picture of, peanut butter monster fingers, bloody glass filled cupcakes, gauc-ghoul-mole and pumpkin chips (my contribution), weenies, meatballs, candy corn pudding cups and lots more. We played some fun games and Ry ended up leaving around 10:00PM to get Coop to bed and meet his brothers and cousin at our house for a round of Call of Duty before Tyler got set apart for his mission.
The next day we went to Tyler's farewell, he did a great job and is excited to head to the Mexico MTC and then to serve in Fortworth, Texas. I had to go do my primary music time and then went back to Ry's parents afterward and hung out with his family for a while. It was fun to see all of his family that came up from Arizona, we rarely get to see them and they are a blast to be with!
Checking out Mae Mae and Boppa's "big skelton" and other porch decorations and thoroughly enjoying being dressed as a stegosaurus.
Seriously, I could die of this cuteness!
My little buddy all ready for Zoo Boo!
Cheeks!
Looking at the black bears that were seriously smaller than Nana.
"Cruncheeeee leaves!!!"
Found some dirt to dig in, no surprise there.
Checking out the new grizzly bear exhibit, he was napping in the water so Coop got a pretty good view.
He was getting tired, as you can see from his little face, "hold you Daddy" so he did the rest of the way out.
My sweet little stegosaurus!
At the Halloween party, he wasn't too sure about Ry's werewolf costume, but he wasn't really scared of it, what have we done? He's so desensitized from all the spooky Halloween stuff, maybe it will be good in the long run, he won't be scared or have nightmares.
The mad hatter and queen of hearts, (Steve and Karen) so awesome!!
Spider woman and her pet spider, (Mom and Dad), clever.
My werewolf husband and my raven costume.
Gladiators, (Paige and Nathan) very cute!
And I don't know how I didn't get a picture of Kendra and Kyler, and then Marilyn and her husband didn't dress up, I told them were not worthy of a picture, I know so mean.
