Boo at the Zoo







The Hogle Zoo had an Event called "Boo at the Zoo."
The kids were able to dress up and trick-or-treat throughout the zoo. Olivia dressed as a kangaroo, Emma a horse and Natalie a sheep. They had so much fun looking at the animals, and some of the animals looked hungrily back at them! The leopard was sleeping on a perch until it saw Natalie, then it jumped down and came right up to the glass window, obviously disappointed that it could not get to its next "snack." All the animals were energetic and pacing, probably because they hadn't seen so many people before. There were tons and tons of people! Compared to San Diego or LA Zoos, or the Wild Animal Park, the Hogle Zoo is small. We were able to go through the whole zoo in about 4 hours. Even though it was small, I think it was the perfect size. The kids had tons of fun and Natalie loved wearing her costume. I tried to take Natalie's costume off for the drive home but she wouldn't have it! Inevitably, my little sheep counted sheep and fell asleep on the way home.
