KJ went trick or treating with some friends over near his dad's house last night while David and I worked Zoo Boo. We tried to get him to volunteer at Zoo Boo also, but noooooo, he wanted to trick or treat. After hearing how much fun David and I had though, he wants to do Zoo Boo next year. KJ decided the DAY BEFORE HALLOWEEN that he did indeed need a costume. He had a mask so he just needed a hood and robe which I threw together in an hour...no pattern, so it wasn't very good, but he wore it.

David and I both worked in Arachniguy's Web. We had coordinated costumes with the keepers before hand, so David was a deranged mad scientist and I was a spider. My pic of David didn't turn out. He was under a red light and I did not want to use the flash. The Education Curator is burning me a CD of all the pics she took, so I'll post them when I pick it up tomorrow.

Me as a black widow. I looked better in the exhibit than I do here in the parking lot. Strobe lights can make anything look scary.

David as a mad scientist. Everybody LOVED this area. He had bottles of colored solutions, some of which were smoking and bubbling, a rat nibbling on a severed foot, a saw, candles, bloody cloth, etc. He was under a red light, but also had a strobe on him and a fog machine.
