Fire Station and Boo at the Zoo

On Saturday we had a lazy morning/afternoon. We ate breakfast at the hotel and Tyler fell asleep right when we came back. He slept for so long, that Tommy fell asleep right before Tyler woke up. So it wasn’t until  about 5:00 that my plan to go the fire station happened. I had to snap some photos first!





We stopped by the closest fire station and although this firefighter was preparing dinner, he had no problem giving Tommy an impromptu tour-so kind! He let him sit in the driver’s seat, show him all the parts to the truck, hold an actual nozzle they use, look through a special heat-detecting camera, and then tour where they sleep, eat, and exercise. As he told Tommy about everything, Tommy’s response was always a ‘yeah’ after everything he said. He was taking it all in;)
Something interesting he said was, if he’s surrounded by flames, he has about 15 seconds before his clothing will start to burn. I always thought they had much longer! Tyler was just along for the ride:) but did excellent, since he was being held. I’m really glad we went. Then we headed to Boo at the Zoo.

Boo at the Zoo was completely packed! It only went from 5:30 to 8:00. We arrived at about 6:00 and we had to park quite a ways away. When we found the line, we kept walking…and walking….and walking…to find the end of it! I was shocked that they would even have something like that here and that it was packed because nothing we’ve been to in this city has ever been packed….barely busy for that matter! Obviously it was the best thing to do for Halloween here. The line did move pretty quickly and Tommy thought it was pretty neat. They had people dressed up as animals, coinciding with the zoo animals. So the lion was right next to the lion’s cage, etc…. I think Tommy is saying “roar” in the pic below, but who knows They also had a bunch of blow up Halloween decorations that we got a few pictures by. Since the zoo was small we hit almost all the treat stations and didn’t have to stay too long. The sun was setting by the time we got in and it was getting chilly. Tommy certainly wasn’t shy about saying “trick or treat”, funny how that is…. and was ready to eat each treat that dropped into his bucket. Tommy AND Tyler received lots of compliments on their costumes. Everyone thought Tommy was the cutest thing…and of course, why wouldn’t they


His facial expressions are hilarious and these were all in a matter of about 2.5 seconds!


Enjoying the goods!
