Boo at the Zoo

Well this Halloween was definitely more successful than last year.  Jeff and I took Caleb to Boo at the Zoo.  It was great.  They had music, lights, animals and candy.  What more could a boy ask for?  Oh, and they had the cutest giraffe I have ever seen. 
Last Halloween at 6 months old (What a miserable little lion!)

This Halloween at 18 months old (All grins for this giraffe)


Past bedtime!

Caleb has been seeing pumkins everywhere this year and lovin' every minute!

How lucky
To live
So high
Above
The body,
Breathing
At heaven's
Level,
Looking
Sun
In the eye;
While down
Below
The neck's
Precarious
Stair,
Back, belly,
And legs
Take care
Of themselves,
Hardly
Aware
Of the head's
Airy
Affairs.

(from All the Small Poems and Fourteen More by Valerie Worth)
