Hogle Halloween

As our Thanksgiving guests are arriving tomorrow (happy squee), I'd really like to post Halloween.  No better place to start than at the Hogle Zoo.  While we didn't see the BooLights at night, we certainly enjoyed all of the decorations by day.

More accurately, we enjoyed most of the decorations.

The dragon's pretty fun.

Eli wanted to impersonate the black spook behind him.

In true big sister fashion, Talia said he wasn't doing it right and insisted on doing an impersonation of her own.

Earlier that day, she had quite a bit of fun with her hair chalk.

While I wouldn't want it to be permanent, as a temporary adornment I find it really pretty.

And, since we are talking about a zoo, how about a few animal pictures.

We were really excited to meet the zoo's two new polar bears.  This two year-old is named Nora.

Not everybody gets such an exciting lunchdate, Annika.

Now for dry land.

With divers preparing to clean their habitat, the day was pretty exciting for the sea lions as well.

If you look closely, you can see a sea lion checking out the diver from below.

Scuba with a twist!  Nice to know that aquatic skills are valued even in the desert of Utah.  Maybe if I dress up as a Mermaid next Halloween they will let me swim too.
