Zoo Boo!

On Sunday, we got together with our neighbors, Dave, Jessica and Emma and took Merrilee to the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore for "Zoo Boo!" Our Merrilee was all dressed up in her ladybug costume...

And she loved the trip into the pumpkin patch with Emma...

It was perfect weather for a trip to the zoo and she really liked all the sights, sounds, and yes, even the smells...

We had lunch at the zoo too -- nachos, hot dogs, drinks, and popcorn -- and that was just for the adults. We had packed Merrilee's lunch and brought it with us...

Merrilee loved all of the animals, especially the elephants...

And the penguins...

And the big giraffes...

It was a fun day, but exhausting, and Merrilee was sound asleep before we were off the zoo grounds...
