"Boo at the Zoo"

Mark, Jen, and I took Olive to Boo at the Zoo.  It's an event the Atlanta Zoo puts on each year.  They have Halloween decorations put up throughout the zoo, and have spots they give out treats.  Even though it was 50 degrees and a bit rainy at times, we still had a fantastic time.

We got Olive a Buddy the dinosaur costume this year.  Her favorite TV show is Dinosaur Train, and Buddy is the Tyrannosaurus Rex on DT.  She love him.  Unfortunately, the dinosaur head to the costume was too big, and would not stay on her head.  Luckily we brought along her Yoda hat.  So she was, "Yuddy" a combination of Yoda and Buddy, for most of the day.  The funny thing was Yoda and Buddy were the two costumes we debated getting for her, and ended up going with Buddy.

Checking out the meerkats.

Rhinos, giraffes, and zebras oh my!

"What am I doing in a pteranodon nest?"

Trick-or-treat!

Pretending to be a naked mole rat.

Hanging with the tiger.

Waiting for lunch.

With Olive on it, the zoo train became the Dinosaur Train!

After the zoo she took a two and half hour nap.  I would say it was a successful visit.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we took Olive to the pumpkin patch, it was actually a place called Southern Belle Farms.  It had a bunch of different rides and activities.  We all had a great time, and Olive loved every second of it.
Cow Train!

Happy Family

Fun in the Corn Maze

We finally made it out!

YAY!

First cotton candy.

Painting her pumpkin.

She saw a real horse and cow too.  They were big, she liked them but seemed intimidated to pet them.  She did however, "moo" and "neigh" at them.

Hay ride
Yay pumpkins!

Tuckered out.
