Helen Grace spotted the Zoo Boo billboards a month ago, and we haven’t stopped hearing about it since. Of course, we had to be there for the first night this past Friday. Our little Tinkerbell was there with her bells on, ready to go!
{She has been telling us for months she wanted to be a green fairy, which turned out to be Tinkerbell. This the easiest Halloween costume to date, thanks to a quick trip to the Disney store!}
I had a feeling that she’d shirk half her costume, although she’d been very excited about wearing all of it. She didn’t disappoint and refused to wear the shoes or wings out of the car. She chose to take the wand, but I carried it for most the night. I’m hoping that she’ll have a change of heart for the actual night. ;)
She was too excited to eat when we first arrived, so we headed to the rides and then the dance party. Thanks to the teenage rap music and crazy strobe lights, we didn’t stay there terribly long, and we checked out the ghouls in Primate Canyon and then hopped on a haunted hayride. {Warning to other Memphians that are planning on going to Zoo Boo this weekend: There will be some people that jump out at you while you are looking at the dinosaurs! Luckily, HG was more startled by my scream than the actual scary guy, and she didn’t seem to be upset by it. I’m just thankful that I didn’t have to go to the bathroom because it scared me to death- ha!} We finally convinced her to sit down and eat for a minute, made a quick swing back by the disco, and then literally had to drag her out of there around 9:30. Needless to say, she was not ready to go!
Another successful year of Zoo Boo!
