Trick or treating at the zoo

Last night we went to the zoo for their annual trick or treating event. We met the Johnsens there and as usual we were entertained by Braden and Jace. This year it seemed to be the amount of falling down and getting muddy the boys somehow managed to do. :) It also felt different this year because we had Little Lexi and Ethan with us! It was a chilly night but the kiddos all managed to stay warm in their fuzzy costumes.

Ethan, the gorilla

Braden, the monkey (literally)

Lexi was Tigger and Jace was a giraffe

Yep, I'm pretty big stuff

Braden was scared of every costumed character...including Bob the Builder (ha!). Chris' parenting style is apparently to get them over their fears fast! It didn't actually work but they got close. :)

Of course Ethan got candy too....A.K.A. more candy for mom and dad

What did they put in here this time?

We also ran into the Ritters so Braden and Jayla, the ladybug got a picture together

Happy Halloween!!
