Boo at the Zoo 2012

Friday night we decided to brave the cold and go to Boo at the Zoo at Columbian Park.  It's fun fundraising event they have for 3 days.  Instead of going during one of the first two days when it was 75 and sunny, we went on the last day when it was 50 or less and windy.  Smooth move, Thornburgs! 

We washed Tommy costume and didn't check it before we put it on him that evening.  All the stuffing had bunched up in two places and it looked like giant softballs in his pockets.  

 He still looked super cute even with the stuffing issues.

 There is a little tractor outside the barn area set up like a little play set.  He loved it even though it was metal and freezing.

 Tommy was much less afraid of the animals this time.  Yes I do realize that I basically took a picture of Andrew, Tommy and a tiny horse's ass.

The World's Largest Drum was at Boo at the Zoo so we just had to bang on the drum and get a picture. :)

It got dark and much colder very quickly.  Tommy rode a zebra in the park but it was too cold to touch (and he has awesome parents that forgot his gloves).  So he rode it without touching it.  Another way we made the poor kid look awkward that night!  Try as we might to make him look silly, he actually got a lot of Aww's as we walked around.  He can look cute in anything apparently! :-)

 We got a picture taken at Boo at the Zoo.  It was a fundraiser. I do understand this.  But this picture was $4.  We only got the print and they cut off Andrew's head.  You would think for 4 bucks, they could center the pic a little better.  But I shouldn't complain, it's for a great cause.

When it got dark, it became nearly impossible to take any pictures with my iPhone. All my pictures after that point, looked like the above.  

But hey, just throw some instagram effects on there and act like you did it on purpose right? Lemons into lemonade! :) 

We had a great time at Boo at the Zoo for the short amount of time that we were there.  Can't wait to go back (maybe a little more prepared next year) when Tommy can enjoy more of the activities.
