Leading up to Halloween we took the boys on a few practice runs to dust of their rusty Trick-or-Treating skills. Didn't your mom teach you that "Practice Makes Perfect"? [and more candy for mom and dad ;)]
For our first practice, we hit up Boo in the Zoo. The have several Trick-or-Treating stations set up around the zoo and a party tent with a DJ and games. Carter picked his Pirate Outfit to wear. The boys had a blast and came home with lots of goodies!

| Their first stop - love Parker's cow butt |

| One excited Pirate |
 |
| Parker had to see the goats. Fortunately he did a good job keeping the goats from running away. |
 |
| Pirate C got in on the action too |
 |
| Someone looks hungry.... |
 |
| We went to the Gorilla Trivia Show. Carter of course sat up front and raised his hand to answer every question. He got the two he was called on right. Did you know that every Gorilla's nose is unique just like fingerprints to a human? |
 |
| When their feet got tired, the boys did drive through treating. |
 |
| We walked the zoo backwards which meant the Giraffes were out for feeding, they are typically closed when we walk by. So we couldn't resist taking advantage. Look at that tongue! |
 |
| I think that Giraffe is Smiling! |
After the zoo, we took advantage of the nice weather and played in the front yard which gave a nice opportunity to take some picture of our decorations.
 |
| The Holden carving skills are increasing in difficulty each year... |
Our last pre-Halloween stop was Trunk-or-Treat at the boy's old school. Parker loved walking up to random people and putting out his bucket. Carter picked out his Buzz costume (after being a Fire Fighter at school that day). It was extremely busy but we ran into lots of old and new friends which was fun.

I think the Boys have finished their warm-ups and are ready for the main event!
