Pumpkin Pandemonium at The Dallas Zoo

On Sunday we went with Brenda, Chels, Colt, and Carter to The Dallas Zoo for Pumpkin Pandemonium. Before we headed to the zoo we met at a really cool McDonalds that was zoo themed. The kids had big fun being crazy in the play area, and then we set out for the zoo. I was really worried when we pulled into the zoo parking lot and it was basically filled to capacity. However, once we got into the zoo the crowds were dispersed, and we had an awesome time!

I went a little picture crazy on this post, but it was very hard for me to choose my favorites. I think I am just missing blogging...it has been more than a week since I have posted!

Cade took this picture of Emmy and I at McDonald's. He LOVES taking pictures with what he considers my "fancy camera" ; ).

At the entrance of the zoo everyone stopped to pose with a crazy creature. The girls wouldn't take their eyes off of the creature to look at the camera...I think that they were afraid of what he might do. ; )

Carter was ready for a day of fun at the zoo.

We watched the crocodiles being fed.

Carson questioning Elmo. He was asking him if he was the "real Elmo".

Carter snuggled up with his momma when he saw all of the huge characters.

The girls and I posed with Elmo...they were a bit nervous.

Carson with an interesting version of SpongeBob.

Carson and "Tigger". Car LOVED all of the characters!

Ellie rested while Chels snapped pictures.

Mr. Carson cheesing it and showing off prizes that he won at the little games that were set up.

The line for the bounce house was too long so the little ones decided to bounce on this metal contraption that made LOTS of noise.

*The girls wore their panties to the zoo, and they stayed dry for the entire day...yea! I am hoping that they can be trained by Thanksgiving. They are doing very well!*
