Trip to the Zoo

My parents came down last weekend, and we took Mason to the zoo for the first time. The weather was beautiful, so it was the perfect day to be outside. Mason liked watching the other children about as much as he liked watching the animals. His favorite animal was the camel. He oohed and ahhed as the camel just sat there and chewed. It was rather boring to me, but I loved watching him get so excited. He did that with a lot of the animals, but none as much as the camel. My favorite, as well as Jonathan's, was the monkey who jumped to the top of the fence and started urinating. All of the spectators scattered very quickly! Overall our trip was great, and we were definitely worn out after being there for 5 hours. That night we went home, cooked dinner, and watched the OU game. It was a fun weekend!

Mason got super excited to see the baby monkey!

Jonathan looks like he could be one of the animals!

Mason was obviously excited for the game!

Halloween

This year was Mason's 2nd Halloween, but his first to dress up. On Halloween night we went to our small group party. Most every couple wears costumes that coordinate, but not us. Jonathan was dying to wear his beloved Woopie Cushion costume. So, I dressed up as a fisherman to somewhat coordinate with Mason's shark costume. Mason's favorite activity of the night was digging through Justin and Allison's candy bucket. He didn't really eat the candy; he just liked to carry it around. I'm sure that will be the last Halloween that it works out that way!
