Zoo Witches

Halloween is just around the corner and it was a beautiful day for Boo at the Zoo.

This year Marina dressed up as Glinda the Good from Oz the Great and Powerful. We decided that we would coordinate costumes, so I dressed as Evanora, the wicked witch. Marina wasn't pleased that everyone thought she was a fairy princess. She let them all know she was a good witch!

The nice weather meant, however, that it was packed. We ended up parking pretty far away from the Zoo and arrived much later than we hoped to.

It was pretty crowded inside the zoo as well, but the longer we were there, the more the crowds thinned out. Marina collected quite a bit of candy and other treats. We spent a little time in the bird house and tropical exhibit but mostly we just stuck to the trick or treating.

We were ready to go home and the long walk back to the car. We stopped to talk to a police officer outside the zoo. He said to Marina, "I know who you are, you're the good witch." Marina was thrilled. With a little prompting, he recognized my costume as well.

When we finally reached the car, both of us were exhausted. Perhaps we should have brought our brooms.
