Zoo Boo 2010 - Have Shovel, Will Defy Gravity

I don't think I've missed a Zoo Boo at the Binder Park Zoo in over twelve years.  Yes, Grumpy and I went even before the Bears were born because we love the zoo and love Halloween.  This year, I went in full costume.  Typically I wear a cute Halloween T-Shirt  and a sassy Halloween headband but this year I went as Elphaba.  You may know her as the Wicked Witch of the West but I know her from Wicked and Elphy is who I was except for the green makeup because the wind was whipping so hard you would think that we were in Kansas but, alas, we were in Michigan under a high wind advisory.

Brother Bear was the Black Ninja from G.I. Joe and Sister Bear was a witch.  "Just a witch, Mom!  Why do I have to be a specific character?"  Geez, I guess you don't have to be as Wicked Awesome as your mother.  Just kidding!  I could never be as adorable as my Sister Bear.

We also had Piper's Pizza and Maddie the Lady Bug with us.

Of course no Zoo Boo is complete with out Pig 3 the Pirate, Pig 2 as Harry Potter and Pig 1 as, oh goodness, a storm trooper in disguise as a Jedi (yeah, I know, it wasn't Storm Trooper but one of the other bad guys) so take that complex costume wearing pig.

Holly dressed up too.  She was in disguise as a Muggle.  Yes, the anticipation for the next Harry Potter Movie is fierce around these parts.

We had a great time at the zoo enjoying everyone in their costumes.  As usual, the babies were a hit.  Did I get a photo?  No!  I have Bears to keep my camera busy.

They try to be stealth but they are my children so it's totally not possible to go unnoticed.

We are lucky to have a great zoo and even luckier to have great friends to share it with.

Wait!  Are you wondering where my broom went?  Well, this witch doesn't travel with a broom.  She has a Zombie Slaying Alpaca Poo Scooping Shovel.  Defying Gravity IS possible with a Zombie Slaying Alpaca Poo Scooping Shovel...you should try it!
