Owen the Zookeeper

Owen was a zookeeper for Halloween this year. He wore a vest and shirt that said "OZ's Zoo: Monkeying Around Since 2005." I put the logo on the side of his blog... I think it is really funny and pretty cool looking too (a little self-promotion). Most people didn't notice the logo (or get the OZ part) but Owen liked pushing around the monkey in his wagon.

This Halloween brought an important parenting lesson: make sure you have reservations/the park is open/etc before promising to go. I got Owen all dressed up in his outfit the day before Halloween and took him (and Dad & Anna) to the farm for a Halloween event. Come to find out when we arrived that we needed reservations and they wouldnt let us join. Owen was sad not to see the animals but luckily didn't really understand what he missed. Thank goodness for that... we went to get burgers instead!




Once Owen trick-or-treated at two houses he got the hang of it and insisted that he do it himself. We had to wait on the sidewalk while he knocked and got his treats. He was very cute and most of the time he knew to say "treak or treat"... but often forgot to say "thank you" without some prompts!
