Our family made its annual trip today to the Los Angeles Zoo's annual Halloween event Boo at the Zoo. Most everything I want to say about the event is at last year's post, but I do have some new photos to post today.I don't know if it was the cool weather this morning and possibility of rain, but the zoo seemed considerably less crowded than last year.
Some notes on the photos:
The pumpkins were being carved by a professional pumpkin carver (who knew such things existed?). Among his tools were a power drill and maybe eight different sized drills.
The guy in the stormtrooper costume was not a zoo employee or a promotion by LucasFilm, as I first thought. Later I noticed a woman standing nearby dressed as Princess Leia, circa Return of the Jedi (the Endor forest costume, not the metallic bikini) and their baby, so it appears to have been a family dressed in a common theme.
