BOO AT THE ZOO...LAFAYETTE STYLE

Being in Lafayette is so amazing.
There are so many fun activities every weekend...
the list is endless.
Sweet Dough Pie Festival...
Taco Festival...
Farmer's Markets around every corner...
Black Pot Festival at Vermilionville...
Louisiana Steampunk Festival...
and, of course,
BOO AT THE ZOO...


The weather was a perfect cool (almost cold) weekend.
Dave and Vannie and their Lafayette kids, Ashley, Diane, and Cooper
decided on Boo at the Zoo.
The place was packed with kids and adults.
There was trick or treating, costume contests, and
ANIMALS.


This "little" guy didn't need a costume...for sure.!!!!
We screamed and hollered at him, but he just kept his cool.


The best kind of pumpkins...blow-up...never rot.!!!



Stretch that neck, Baby...
Don't you just LOVE that color.
I have lots of friends with have flamingos in their yards...
you know, the metal ones or the wind-chime ones,
or the painted ones on a flag.
V and D haven't gotten the "flamingo" bug yet.
I'm sure it's coming sooner or later.


Grrrr


Aw...now, that's plum adorable.


The giraffe's stole the show.
Mama was so friendly and loved having her picture taken.
She had a couple of babies, but they didn't come up close.


Vannie got a quick selfie with mama.


This is a happy bunch.
Cooper, Ashley, Diane


YIKES
The colors are beautiful, but the spookiness is out the wazoo.!!!


Vannie said that even the ghosts came out to greet them during the broad daylight.


After all was said and done...
Dave said that these guys had the right idea.
Enough "Boo at the Zoo" for today...
Nap-time.!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Everybody
