Boo at the Zoo!

Friday afternoon we met up with our friends Nicki and Zakary for Boo at the Zoo. This was mine and J's first time to go, so we were pretty excited!!! Here's is our afternoon in pictures...


Heave ho here we go....Jackson as 'Jake and the Neverland Pirate!'

A quick stop on the zoo trucks...

Let the trick or treating begin...

Zakary, unlike Jackson was not afraid of the clowns...Love that curly hair underneath that police hat!

Love that sweet face!!!

Radio Disney was playing a "name that tune" game with Disney Jr. shows.  Jackson guessed the Little Einsteins theme correctly and won a prize.  He was so proud of himself...

I love this pic....not really sure what they are looking at.

Spinning the wheel for prizes...


Pumpkins, glorious Pumpkins!
Looking for the perfect one...

Got it!!

On our way out of the zoo we walked through the flamingos, and noticed mama's laying their eggs.  It was amazing to see the flamingos scooping up the dirt into mounds with their beaks, and getting all cozy on top!





Thanks Nicki and Zakary for a fun afternoon!!

A Great Wolf Lodge Birthday Weekend

Our best friends Kristin and her son Zachary invited Jackson and I to the Great Wolf Lodge to celebrate Zachary's 4th birthday. Fun doesn't even seem to describe the time we had...Jackson is still 'howling', not to mention watching the Lodge's promo videos online. Here is a whirl wind wrap up of our overnight stay...Enjoy!

First Stop...Build a Wolf.  Here's is Whiteout the Wolf.

Next...make a wish, and put in inside.


Checking out the Lodge "Pack" of characters...

Any time you eat, the kids receive wolf ears, and tails!  J loved his ears!!

J giving us his howl...

Time for birthday presents...Zach's Nana was sweet enough to get Jackson a little something to open too!!!


We got Z a cool spyglass...


The boys finding planes with the spyglass....

After dinner....time to trick or treat around the hotel...the boys loved it!!

One of our stops...


After trick or treating...time for cake!  The boys loved it, and passed out for the night not long after showers...
The next morning...Breakfast with the Characters!  Here is the wolf member getting us ready for Oliver, Wylie, and Violet!  Stomp, Stomp, clap, clap, Howl!

Love the plates...

Here's Wylie....J not too sure, but he quickly warmed up.

Breakfast was so much fun!
 
 
After breakfast we hit the waterpark.  I didn't snap any pics, but the boys loved it!  Imagine 2 indoor Hawaiian Falls Parks, with way more slides....it was Awesome!!!  Thanks Kristin and Zachary for a wonderful weekend!
