Trick or Treat!

Against our better judgement, Mike and I took the girls to the zoo for their annual trick or treating event. We've only been once before, when the girls were babies and all we could remember was that it was super busy. I checked the zoo website, and on there it said that this is the most popular trick or treating event in Omaha. It was also featured on the news as a top thing to do for today. We were prepared for it to be busy. Luckily, we all got up and got ready early, so I think we missed a lot of the huge crowds.

Even Ellie got to dress up! Too bad she couldn't go trick or treating with us.

Once we got to the zoo, things went pretty well!

The girls got lots of candy. Then the lines started getting a tad longer.

They moved pretty quick though, and I didn't have any complaints about the wait time.

Still smiling!

The only line we chose not to wait in was the line for free Runzas. That's right. FREE RUNZAS!!! I wanted to wait in that line so, so bad. But the line wound all the way around the zoo. Mike told me if I didn't make him wait in that line, he would buy me a Runza for lunch. I told him it probably wouldn't taste as good as the free one. In the end, I gave in and let him buy me lunch.

Once we got home, the girls spread out all their loot in the living room.

Here's my loot:
