Fall Festivities

Checking out the pumpkins at Stew Leonard's:





Riding on the Stew Leonard's hayride:

We went to the Bronx zoo, and every child there was wearing a costume! There were lots of Halloween festivities, but we just walked around to see the animals. Avery wore skeleton pajamas and the top part of his monkey costume.
My favorite part of the zoo is the petting zoo area of the children's zoo. Avery LOVES feeding the animals! He is not afraid and loves having goats, llamas, geese, and probably just about anyone else eat out of his hand.



Gogo with Avery:

Avery was SO GOOD all day, except when we tried to take him on the bug carousel. He started crying and squirming in line. We thought he'd chill out and be happy once the ride started, but nope, he had a full on hissy fit-temper tantrum. If you squint here, it looks like he is smiling, but he's not. He is MAD. As soon as we got off the ride he stopped fussing and was in a great mood the rest of the day.

After the zoo we went to Arthur Avenue, which is the "Little Italy of the Bronx." We ate great pizza and Italian pastries, and just walked around. Avery got a lot of smiles and waves since he was wearing his skeleton costume. Since we weren't at the zoo anywhere, no one else was wearing a costume. But he was adorable:
