Boo in the Zoo

We took our little Minnie Mouse to the local zoo for some trick-or-treating fun last week-end. She loves all things Disney and has a closet full of dress up clothes. But our official Halloween costume is this pink Minnie.
Of course, we all had matching ears. I love that Ryan humors me and wears them too.
We had a few treats at the house before heading downtown. Here Tessa is contemplating a Minnie Mouse lollipop. Rather than eat it, she gave it a kiss and set it down.
Waiting in line proved a little traumatic thanks to a boy in a bloody skeleton mask. Tessa isn't at all a scaredy cat but it was pretty gruesome. We concentrated on pointing out Tessa's favorite characters who were also in line. Thank you local families for providing so many princesses and Buzz Lightyears to help distract her. Once inside the zoo she was happy again, although several times she asked about the skeleton.
Aren't the grandparents just adorable in their matching ears too?

So cute that she kissed Minnie lollipop and set her down! She looks great in her costume!

Yes, I think you captured the perfect look of 'to eat or not to eat' from Tessa. She is way prettier than the real Minnie!
