Yay Halloween! I was super excited for Boo at the Zoo on Friday! I dressed up in my Dispicable Me minion outfit that may or may not have acutlly looked like one and got pumped for an evening with friends and little kids. those of us who dressed up for the event took pictures then we took group pictures to memorialize our experience. We volunteered to act out the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs scene for the Train ride. Alexis was Snow White and the rest of us were dwarfs. I think I was happy, but the costumes weren't dwarf specific. We wore colored button downs and in my case huge oversized black cut off pants. I was sad I couldn't ware my minion costume anymore, but being a dwarf was fun. While waiting for directions we enjoyed our complimentary hot dog and drink. We also got free sample sandwiches from Jimmy Johns which were delish! If was fun walking past the kids and hearing their parents say,"Look! Who's that?!" And seeing the kids stare at us as we walked by. It was probably becuase of Snow White, but hey, we dwarfs are important too! Our job was to act out coming home from work, and yes we sang,"it's home from work we go..." Then rush in horror as we see Snow White take a bite from the poisionous apple given to her by the wicked witch. We added a little scene in beforhand as the train made a first run through. We acted out mining for jewels. While we waited for the train to come back and do the second see we walked on the trian track trying to balance, watch some Scooby Doo, and took pictures with The March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts. Those three had legit costumes and were freaking awesome. We only acted out a few scenes until the next crew came to relieve us. It was a super fun evening although a bit chilly at times!
