Boo in the Zoo + Halloween

We took our tiger to Boo in the Zoo at Prospect Park Zoo the other day:

A scary ghoul took our picture, as you might gather from R's horrified expression.

Rosemary's Halloween costume was a redux from last year's back up. It was the end of a long discussion of possible costumes that included:
a) cookies and cream
b) lightening
c) witch
d) spider witch
e) lightening spider
f) silver witch

And as it so often is w/ a toddler, the correct answer is
g) none of the above

Trick or treating in Cobble Hill is always equal parts fun and insane. Some places (good candy distribution sites) are as crowded as a 5 train at rush hour. Brooklyn is about the best place I've ever seen on Halloween because people sit outside on their stoops so you don't have to do all that pesky doorbell ringing. Rosemary had a great time for about 25 minutes and then was done. Honestly, I think she had a premonition that any further candy would probably be confiscated and consumed by grown ups, so what was the point.

As a special bonus in this one you can see me dressed up as aging Poison frontman Bret Michaels.

I think you mean "the disembodied head of aging Poison frontman, Bret Michaels."

Apparently your head removes quite easily-- in the family shot it is clearly being held near your ankles.
