Happy Halloween

parker-frankenstien.jpgI’m about to head home from work, and thought I would post something really quickly.  We had a fun weekend.  We have been planning for awhile to go to the Nashville Zoo’s Halloween event, Ghouls at Grassmere.  We went Saturday evening.  It was fun, but will probably be more fun when Parker is older.  Their big draw is the Haunted Hayride through the zoo, and Parker is just alittle too young for that.  Plus he really doesn’t like hayrides.  They have corporate sponsors giving out candy at treat stations around the zoo.  So everyone gets dressed up and walks around the zoo in the dark (can’t see the animals or they are up for night) getting candy.  They have games, food, bon fires, etc…  It is fun, but we also got there about 7pm so alittle late for a 2 year old.  We’ll do it again next year, I’m sure, maybe we’ll go earlier.  There were hundreds of cars everywhere when we pulled in.  They were parked all over the place.  I was really surpirsed at how big the event was.  I didn’t expect that many people at all.  Parker wouldn’t wear his costume at first (well, he wouldn’t have at all, but we wrestled him into it kicking and screaming, literally).  He got over it fast, of course, when everyone started commenting on how cute he was as Frankestein.  He thrives on attention.  At one point he even started walking like Frankestein and growling.  I’ve got some padding for his head for halloween so it won’t be so droopy.  Either way it is still cute.  We saw at least 30 Spiderman costume, but no one had a Frankenstein.  Well, check out the pictures on the picture page.  I’m off to fix a leaking toilet.  We had a small pond downstairs this morning.  More on that later….
