Keeping up with our autumn / Halloween traditions, we visited the zoo this past weekend — this time during the day — for the annual “Spooky Zoo.” It was nice to check in on all the animals, and Josh loved the characters and Treat Trail. We also saw some of the Jack-O-Lanterns, and some of the animals eating pumpkins. The snow leopards, however, preferred to play soccer with theirs.

| These guys did not care about pumpkins, they really wanted the Wildebeests next door. |
 |
| Pumpkins! |
 |
| Pirates! |
 |
| Princesses! |
 |
| And wild things. |
 |
| “Ooh, check out that foliage!” |

| A bear and his pumpkin |

| Snow leopard pumpkin soccer (followed by a game of chase) |
Also this weekend, at my cousins’ house, we indulged in another kind of autumn. A bonfire, with a lovely view of the colored leaves all around us, roasting ghost-shaped Peeps. Delicious!

I just love this time of year.
