Sophia had a dry run with her Halloween costume by spending last Saturday at the Lake Superior Zoo for Boo at the Zoo. We pieced together some of Sebastian’s old pirate costume (eye patch, hat, sword) and added a feminine flair with a red skirt, white shirt, pirate bandana, a long braid in her hair and black boots. I think it all came together quite nicely.


Mike and Sophia spent the afternoon looking at animals, checking out displays and seeing all the great costumes – not to mention bagging a whole bunch candy.
Mike snapped a few pictures with his iPhone to capture their father-daughter time together.






Sophia’s favorite take home items included a helium balloon, pumpkin tattoo on her cheek and a giant Three Musketeers bar she won by playing a bean bag toss game. The weather was beautiful and both Mike and Sophia had a wonderful time. They can’t wait to do it again next year.
