This year we finally went to Boo After Dark at the Denver Zoo. I love all the lights. We saw a few animals. Nobody loved the freezing cold night, but the bags full of candy made up for that in the end. Luckily we all ate dinner together at Margaret's house, because we then didn't find each other at the Zoo until the very end! Note to self: since cell phones exist, try actually remembering to bring yours!
Katie and our good friend Aly before we started exploring the zoo.
'Bat Boy' Alex and Max the black cat. The previous Friday we went to Bat Encounter at the Botanical Gardens. They had a few live bats that the presenter walked around. The smallest was the size of a gerbil - with wings. The largest he brought has a 6 foot wingspan! My photo-taking skills need some help, but here's one of them:
We are still working on getting our own bat house up. I wonder if they'll go after squirrels . . .
We managed to hit the bat exhibit in Tropical Discovery. I think Alex was equally impressed by the hundreds of bats in their fake cage as he was seeing them live and closer up.
Roger was Oma's designated driver for the night. Her knee seems to be better post-procedure, but still a little tender. Max and Alex did not mind doing a little hitch hiking.
The festive Andersons.
One very cute little bunny. Go ahead and try to offer your hand to help her walk - she'll just start to run in the opposite direction!
The grapes costume rides again! Saturday night we went to a carnival at our friends' high school, and Katie and I won in our age categories for the costume contest. Katie's competition was a little stiffer than mine: I was one of only two adults who actually dressed up, so we both got prizes.
