Trip to the Zoo


We finally had a nice weekend without any rain! We took full advantage on Saturday and visited the Philadelphia Zoo. Colin's favorites included the Gorillas and other monkeys, the Rhinoceros, the Giraffes, and the river otters. He reminded us frequently that there are no elephants at this zoo - a fact he learned when his grandparents visited. The Philly elephants were shipped off to Pittsburgh to have more space.

Colin is looking forward to a big Thanksgiving celebration. Only a couple of weeks away!

Halloween

Halloween was a big hit! The rain was not able to dampen Colin's spirits and he did a great job Trick-or-Treating. We made it all the way around the block plus a few more houses down the street. I am not sure if Colin was saying "Trick-or-Treat" because it sounded more like "Chicken Treat", but it got the job done. His "Roars" were more reliable and also effective at getting candy. The first picture is Colin ready to go, the second picture is Colin wanted to head back out for more Trick-or-Treating and the last one is Colin inspecting his loot.
