Boo at the Zoo 2016

It's Boo at the Zoo time!!

 The kids were ready to don their costumes at the zoo and take part in all the fun activities. 

 We met up with Tommy's buddy Cooper and his brother Conner for some Halloween fun.

 We also met up with Charlotte's bestie Lakynn and her family too.

 The kids had a blast.  It was mass chaos.  Lots of screaming, running, dancing, and everything else.

The kids are obsessed with this tractor.  It's a good thing that it's tough because they try to destroy it.

 Once the darkness settled in and the sugar kicked in on high, we decided to pick our pumpkins and get the heck out of there.

 The kids said their goodbyes.  There were some tears but all in all it was a really fun night!

Plus we got this great family picture out of the deal.  Tommy was in serious mode for this pic.  Charlotte's one antenna somehow got a little wonky.  Whoops! But that's what makes this picture so awesome. Can't wait to add it to the collection. :-)

You're My Best Friend!

We have heard throughout the year that Charlotte has a best friend.  She talks about her a little but I had no idea how intense this friendship really was until she was invited to her birthday party. 

Charlotte's best friend, Lakynn, turned 3 and had a party at My Gym.  It was the cutest thing ever! Charlotte was a little shy at first because she didn't know 70% of the people at the party but once she saw her bestie, the party was a GO!

It was a perfect party for 2 or 3 year olds.  Look at that trampoline action! Can you imagine all the giggling that was happening here?

They had this funky swing that they rode on together.

They also had this funky swing that they rode on together too.  They couldn't be separated!

I promise there were other kids at the party! You couldn't really tell with the two of them attached at the hip though.  They loved this ball pit at the end of a slide the most I think.

They had pizza at the party which is Charlotte's favorite.  Andrew looked at this picture and asked if they all had their own personal pizza.  Ha! Not quite but Charlotte did have 3 pieces!! She was hungry after all that play.

At one point during the party, they took Lakynn to another room and dressed her up to bring her back out for a birthday parade.  Before they brought her back out, they asked the kids where Lakynn went.  Charlotte jumped up and starting frantically looking for her and calling out for her.  Then they brought her out dressed like this.  They sang happy birthday and posed for pictures.  It was adorable.

Here's the birthday girl with her cake.  Both girls wanted pink cupcakes.  Lucky for them, there were exactly two!

Charlotte was the last one at the party.  She didn't want to leave.  I had to pull her out of there!

They are just two peas in a pod, aren't they?


Here's a video with all the party action.  Have you ever heard so much giggling in your entire life?? So much fun!! Happy birthday, Lakynn!!
