Pumpkin Patch and Zoo Spooktacular

Last Wednesday was the 4th Wednesday of the month which means it's play date Wednesday with Mom to Mom.  This month is was a trip to the pumpkin patch.  Robbie was really excited about going, but once we got there he didn't want to leave the play house.  He pretty much acted like he owned it and was the self-appointed bouncer.  Eventually we did watch a cute video and decorated a pumpkin.  I did get some good pictures, too!

"May I see your ID?"

"Hi!"

And a lot of Robbie that are just too good to not share!

Last night we went to the Spooktacular at the zoo.  We got there when it started and that was probably a bad idea, because there were a ton of people there, too, so it was very crowded and hard to stop and look at the decorations without feeling like you just caused a traffic jam.  Most of the animals were in their rooms sleeping, so there wasn't a lot to see, but they handed out candy and that was what the kids thought was important!  Robbie asked to go back to the zoo today, but maybe we will again soon.

I think he gave a talk at the beginning, but I was trying to help Alex decide if he wanted in our out of the stroller.  (Answer: Out, but carried.)

"I'm Batman!"

Pirate Alex!

The entrance.

He's such a cute pirate even if he's blurry!

Alex wasn't too in to taking pictures with the characters.

Robbie didn't want to get close to this bear!

Cute signs

Robbie had fun checking out these skeletons.  They were black-lit, but you can't tell when I take a picture with the flash.

I don't think we'll go back again until the kids are older and we can go a little later.  We brought pajamas to put the kids in afterward and Alex fell asleep in the car.  Robbie still had a little energy left but didn't stay up much later!
