I took the boys to our local zoo for their Halloween special day. It's called MetroBoo. Indy dressed up as a soldier and Levi dressed up as Iron Man. They "trick or treated" to the booths set up around the zoo and got candy then played in the activity area. This was at the entrance.
Here's Iron Man at the entrance area.
Silly boys!
Indy attempted to climb the rock wall. He did pretty good for his first time. Of course, he did have a little help! lol
Indy also got his face painted....in camo, naturally. De ja vu. He was a soldier at this zoo day when he was about 3 and had his face painted in camo then, too! lol I think I see a reoccuring theme here. Hmmmm....
The Soldier.
We also went on a little hay ride through a natural wooded area. It was so nice except for the smell of the tractor engine right in front of us. Ugh. But, the boys got a kick out of the ride.
They played lots of games in the activity area, including this hockey booth where you could hit a puck into the holes and win a prize. Indy did pretty well, but they really got a kick out of Levi. He kept hitting it like a golf ball! Big surprise there, eh? lol Anyway, they had no idea that he played golf, but the guy said, "Hey, at least you know he could have a career in golf." I think he thought he was being funny, but when I said, "He does play golf," the guy balked. He couldn't believe it. He even called over the lady who was with him. She asked his name so that when he was famous someday, she could say that she had met him when he was little. I thought it was kinda funny.
So, the next day was actually Halloween, so here are some pix from that day. This is Savannah when we dropped her off at her friend's house for a party.
This is at the Western Fiesta at our church that evening. Levi played lots of games and won lots of candy...oh boy, just what he needs! Argh.
Both childrens' choirs sang a couple songs. Here, Levi's preschool choir sings. He did a great job on the motions....not so good on the actual singing! lol It's hard to believe he's one of the older ones now. Man, do they grow up fast!
Here's Indy's choir. He's the last one on the far right. He did his motions great, too, along with the singing.
Ashton's friend, Abbey, came over and went trick or treating with us. They both dressed up as cowgirls....sort of.
Levi wore this dinosaur (pterydactyl) outfit he got from his cousin. It fit him perfectly and was sooo cute! It was a little warm, though, after awhile.
When he put out his arms, you could see the "wings" for the pterydactyl. Too funny!
Indy was the Silver Surfer. He wanted to be this last year, but at the last minute, changed his mind. So, this year, he stuck with it. We covered his skateboard with foil, found a silver mask, and bought some gray (silver) clothes. It came out pretty good, but unfortunately, not so many people recognized his character. Oh well. 
This is at a house in our neighborhood. These people are older, but go all out every year for Christmas. We call them "The Decoration Man". But, they did set this up for Halloween night. Cute picture.
Well, that's it. It was a busy, but fun day. Sadly, Nicky was already on night shift, so he missed all the costumes and fun. Hopefully next year, he'll be around. Happy Halloween! :-)

I've not heard of the Silver Surfer either.
Cute story about Levi and the hockey game.
