Today is Halloween! We've been looking forward to this for quite some time, and it's finally here! Last year, Elias was a little monkey, and we planned to visit our friends at their various apartments in Chicago. It stormed, one of the worst and craziest weather patterns we had experienced - screaming winds and waves crashing over lake shore drive. It wasn't a perfect Halloween, but it was certainly memorable!
This Halloween, we thought we could make it a really great experience - beautiful weather, fun activities, and finally a neighborhood for trick or treating! This year, Elias is going as an astronaut.
In the morning, we went to the Bronx Zoo for "Boo at the Zoo" - Elias wore his costume, we wandered around looking at various animals, and we interacted with dressed up zoo personnel. Elias loved the opportunity to walk around a new place. He saw a red panda, lions playing, giraffes and ostriches, baboons, gazelles, and bears!

We went to three houses before Elias was done. Here's his Halloween haul:
