Today was trick or treating at the zoo. It was a beautiful day and it turned out pretty good. We got there a little early so we hung out and watched the is band that was dressed up as animals. They played kids songs that sounded like bluegrass.
Little Cubby was grouchy at first but then started to warm up and smile at everyone. We watched the parade which consisted of Ronald McDonld in a convertable car, a marching band playing the Santana song Oye Como Va, and the "characters" of different shows and movies. We started our trick or treating at a booth that was giving out books. We ended at the Farm at the Zoo where Ronald McDonald was. The boys got a lot candy, Happy Meal Toy dogs, toothbrush, toothpaste, apples, and fun worksheets.
Little Cubby was a lion and Big Cubby was Woody from Toy Story. Big Cubby was a hit. Every where we went kids kept yelling Woody, Woody like he was a rock star. The volunteers that were handing out stuff kept going on about him being Woody. We saw only one other Woody and one Buzz Lightyear.
Big Cubby kept saying the line from the movie "reach for the skies" to everyone.
We had a fun but tiring day. Above are a few pictures of some of the characters and if you go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/ten-nine/ there are a few pictures of the day there.

What a great day. How funny they hand out toothbrushes and toothpaste ALONG with the candy. Good idea.
Sooooo glad you all enjoyed the zoo. I hope Hubby is feeling better. It turns out that Lincoln Park Zoo was a great idea! The kids look so happy.
