Today, we took Kay to the Boo at the Oakland Zoo ... just as we've done the last few years. This is the one event that I look forward to every year. I think this will be her last year though. Alas ... she's growing up.

This year Kay dressed up as a gothic vampire princess. A joint picked costume -- Kay wanted something not so "girlie" and this was a compromise. Kay actually liked the dress.

This event is held every year on the weekend before Halloween. The kids get a scavenger hunt list at the entrance and they have to identify animals with a riddle. The kids then take their list to the appropriate animal area and get their lists stamped and get a treat.

We have a membership with the Oakland Zoo and there is no additional cost for this event. I snagged this family membership through a special offer through the zoo for past members ($55.00 -- it included a parking pass and 1/one time use family pass to give to a friend).
