Boo at the Zoo

So I've gotten completely lazy about taking photos, as one can tell from the sheer lack of photos on this site and his sister's. Now I'm pretty much taking kid photos with my phone, so the quality is also lacking.  (There is a lot lacking these days...except maybe patience with contractors and that's wearing thin.  Anyhoo.)

We went to the National Zoo on Friday evening for Boo at the Zoo which basically entails thousands of costumed kids (and their parents), sugar, freaked-out-sleepy animals, and crying. But we had fun, meeting up with a few friends and letting Ben stay up a little later.  Here he is a few minutes after facing an acouchi and kneeling down to give it 'una besita' on the glass. He really liked that acouchi. From the photos you can't tell he was dressed in an alligator/dinosaur/toothed-reptile jacket. Not very original, but we had only an hour's notice before we went to the zoo.

Yeah, he needs a haircut; he's starting to look like Carol Brady.
