Boo in the Zoo

I had class at Furman on Saturday, so Jackson got to spend the morning with Daddy.  He is real Daddy's boy right now, so he loved every minute of it.  Tim took him to the fall carnival at Pediatric Therapy Works. Of course, Jackson thought he was there for therapy, so he didn't want to play any games.  He even cried when he saw Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Carol.

Later that afternoon Tim, Jackson, my mom, Murphy, and Maria picked me up, so we could go to Boo in the Zoo at the Greenville Zoo. Thankfully we had already bought our tickets, because the line was 45 minutes to an hour long!  We just walked right in with our tickets.  The weather was still really warm today, so Jackson did not put on his costume. He loves going anywhere with Murphy and Maria.  They make him laugh!  He thinks he is just as big as they are.  We walked through all of the stations and collect the candy (good candy too!).  Kiko, the new baby giraffe, was not out, so we will have to come back to see him.  Jackson did not want to ride in his stroller; he wanted to walk like Murphy and Maria.  He held someone's hand and walked throughout at least half of the zoo.

We went to Frodo's to eat afterwards and met Cookie, Ashlyn, Sydney, Will, Alexa, Tu Tu, and Briggs. Jackson wanted to walk all over that restaurant.  He did it all by himself!  He loves Frodo's so much that he wanted his first steps to be there. (He has been taking steps for week, but he really took off walking there!) All of those cheese sticks he ate gave him the energy to walk and walk.  We all took turns chasing him.  He was so proud of himself!

Then we went to see Cookie's house with all of the Halloween decorations.  Jackson was not scared at all of the spooky creatures she has.  In fact, he loved the wolf!  Jackson got so wild while we were there. He was walking everywhere!  He loved grabbing all of the Twizzlers and handing them out to everyone.  Then he got to throwing fruit. Yes, fruit.  Cookie had a bowl of apples and oranges sitting on her coffee table.  He would take one and throw it across the room.  Soon Sydney and Briggs made a game out of it; he loved all of the attention!  As soon as we got in the car, he crashed!
