Boo at the Zoo

We decided to take advantage of our new Zoo Atlanta membership and take the girls to Boo at the Zoo Saturday morning. It was a lot of fun! The kids all dress up in their Halloween costumes, so we took our two little Minnie Mice (who were so adorable; see the post below this for pictures). Everything was decorated in a cute way for Halloween; they weren't trying to scare anyone which I appreciated. We had a great time seeing all the costumes and watching all the animals. Mia stayed awake the whole time, and she enjoyed looking around. The gorillas came and sat up against the glass wall, and Mia loved being that close to them. It was also fun to watch the lionnesses who were having fun. Two of them were playing chase; man they're fast! Another one lay staring at something for a few minutes and then pounced; that was pretty cool to see. I think Lily's favorite part was all the little stands set up around the zoo that was handing out candy. She received two suckers and loved it! It was such a fun outing!

After the zoo we stopped by Meme's so she could see the girls all dressed up. Randy and Georgia were there too, so it was fun to visit with them. I always have fun visiting with all three of them. Lily of course immediately asked for crackers; she knows that Meme has the ones she likes! Meme was really glad to see the girls; we have been so careful around her for the last few months as she has been in chemo. With a weakened immune system, we didn't want to get the girls' germs around her (Mia seems to have a perpetually runny nose). However, Meme has finished all of her treatments, and we received word yesterday that the cancer is officially gone; she's in remission! What a blessing!
