Take a Trip to Zoo Boo at The Houston Zoo
don't Miss Zoo boo this year.
On October 18-19 and 25-26, from 9am - 4pm, bring your little ghouls and goblins to the Houston Zoo for a frightfully enjoyable adventure: the ZOO BOO!
 
Pick a pumpkin to decorate from the Fiesta Mart Pumpkin Patch. Enjoy the Monster Mashquerade--a kids' "bash" where children can masquerade in animal masks.
 
 
All this, plus... our spooky--and thoroughly educational-- Jamba Juice Lost Species Cemetery, animal mask coloring, Halloween-themed creepy-crawler Keeper Chats, and the animal- themed Trunk-or-Treat stations.

Buy your tickets before you arrive. Visit the courtesy booth at Fiesta to purchase an adult Zoo admission for $8 and a child Zoo admission for $5.

-from The Houston Zoo's website

My kids love carving pumpkins. They draw out their design and Dad helps carve. Then we roast the seeds!

My favorite thing about Halloween is the entire costume creating process. I can spend up to 2 weeks making the perfect costumes for my girls and I. (And WAY too much $$ on all the accessories)Everything has to be perfect!!

I still get excited when I see all the Halloween decorations! My favorite activity would be carving the pumpkin!! My daughter is two so this year she'll help me take out the pumpkin "guts" and design the face. I hope the thrill of Halloween continues for her. Everyone have fun and be safe on Halloween!!

Our favorite Halloween activity is arriving home after a full night of Trick-or-treating, laying down on the floor with our piles of candy all around us and trading with each other for the best candy. Yummm!

My favorite part is choosing the costumes that my boys will wear. In the past, I have been able to choose both costumes (fireman & dalmation) and now my oldest chooses his own costume and we match his brother (Spiderman & Superman). I love this because I know that this time is fleeting and will pass before I know it as they won't let me match them up forever.

My favorite memory of Fall/Halloween was when we would have all of our friends over for a spooky Halloween party. My dad would set up a little bonfire outside and we would roast marshmellows, hotdogs and he would hook-up the trailer and take all of our friends on a hayride. What memoriessmilies/smiley.gif We hope to do that with our son one day. Also, one time we had a Halloween party and my sister was dating the owner of a funeral home and he surprised us and brougt the herse out and it totally scared us to death. It even had a casket in it. Eeeek!!!!!

Our favorite activity is carving pumpkins and roasting some of the seeds. We each carve a pumpkin Mom, dad and Ava. This year we are going to do one for our Great Dane! Great family fun!

My best friend and I have been best friends for 18 years!! We are blessed to have had our daughters 3 months apart. They have an inseperable bond & since they were little we have ALWAYS dressed them up in "themed" costumes. So, each year it is a treat & now a tradition to take them to coordinate their "themed" costumes!!

My son LOVES going to the Pumpkin Patch to pick out a pumpkin. He tries to pick up all the heavy ones. I think that must be his favorite to see how much pumpkin he can carry!

We like to look at the different costumes and discuss which ones are the most creative. This will be the first time our one year old will be able to participate so it will be fun to see how he enjoys it.

Our FAVORITE activity for Halloween is creating our own patterns to carve into the pumpkins. Each year we add a new pattern to our collection.
