Monster Mash 10/28/10

Last year we went trick-or-treating at "The Zoo Goes Boo". This year the zoo announced they were going to have a members-only trick-or-treating called "Monster Mash". The advertising for it said it would be better entertainment, less people, and "premium" treats. So, we decided to give it a try. By doing both we would be able to know which was better for future years.

As you have seen in previous posts, every time we go to the zoo, we take a picture with the statue of John Ball.In addition to the normal statue picture, there was a inflatable Halloween sign.
We got to walk the "Not So Spooky Trail". We happened upon a grave yard....seems spooky to me. ;-)
There is a fun train at the end of the trail. Usually when we are there during the summer, there are too many kids on it for Marc & Samantha to be able to have much fun on it. Since there weren't many people there dung this event, the kids got to play, run, and climb all over it. Someone was nice enough to offer to take out family's picture on it.
I would say the kids got a good loot. :-)
The Monster Mash was a few dollars per ticket more expensive then The Zoo goes Boo. The "premium" treats were more trinkets like from Oriental Trading Company than edible treat. We think in the future we will probably do the Zoo Goes Boo instead of the Monster Mash. More expensive, but still lots of fun!
