zoo boo with friends

Yesterday we met our friends, April, Adam, Caleb, and Keller at the Indy zoo for their halloween at the zoo (Zoo Boo). April and I have been the best of friends for years and even though she only lives in Bloomington, our distance, work schedules, and kiddos make it hard to get together as much as we'd like! So we had this trip planned weeks ago and  it was sooo good to see them all!!!! 

All of the kids dressed up, so Sammi was super excited to put on her fairy princess costume! Her Grandma Brand took her to the store to pick out her own outfit last week & she was kind enough to send them down to us for our Halloween celebrations too!

Samantha is OBSESSED with having long hair now! Her favorite movie is Rapunzel, and if she's not wearing this wig at home, she either has a scarf hanging over her head as her "long hair" or she walks around holding a blanket up to her head as her "long hair". It's hilarious! Too bad the kid's real hair just doesn't grow fast! 

Sam loved petting the sharks!

Poor Natalie - mommy put her in her pajamas as a good under-clothing for her CUTE costume (also picked out by Kathe), and then I apparently forgot to put her actual costume in the car! So, Natalie was stuck wearing her pajamas and a raincoat and hat (what we happened to have) for warmth!!! Oh well, she didn't care. You'll just have to wait until Halloween to see her costume!!!! It's adorable! 

Natalie liked looking at the animals as much as her sister! And Caleb enjoyed playing with her all day too!

We went trick-or-treating at the zoo as we saw all of the animals!

Keller and Caleb are growing so fast! Keller loved holding Natalie!

Keller and Samantha danced while waiting to get in the bounce zone!

Caleb entertained Natalie while we waited on the girls to bounce!

Bounce, bounce, bounce!

April, I love you sooo much and I'm so glad we got all the kids together!!! Would you ever have imagined this photo 17 years ago?! I LOVE IT!!!

Had to include this hilarious photo of Natalie.... She enjoyed trying on Sam's wig when we got home!
