Zoo Spooktacular

As we did last year, we went to Sunset Zoo here in Manhattan for a day of fun. They let the kids dress up and trick or treat from sponsored booths as well as see all the animals. Kinley had much more fun this year getting the candy, but it was a little scary at first. Before we even got into the zoo a lady gave Kinley a bracelet and a piece of candy, and Kiney just started crying. I don't even know why. I guess it wasn't what she was expecting. Anyway, once we went into the zoo, she had a great time.
There was a nice little play area Kinley played on for a while. She wasn't so sure about the wiggly bridge, but she loved the twisty slide.
The highlight again was the petting area. She didn't use a brush this time, but her hands worked just great. We gave her a handful of feed, but the goats ate it before we could even blink let alone take pictures. Before we made it to this area, we got to see a lady with a snake. Kinley actually pet it! I was really proud of her, although she didn't want to go in the little Dracula Dressing Area that was a little spooky.

Pretty Toes

Kinley and I went to the mall so I could get a pedicure. This was the reward to myself for working hard in Knoxville. I chose black paint because my sister and I were talking about it and how cute we think it looks, especially in the Halloween season. I let Kinley pick out a color to hold and she chose many shades before setteling on a clear glitter. I had her go find a pretty pink one, and she went toward the neon section. We both soaked our feet and got our legs massaged and then our toes painted. Kinley has gone with me a few times before, but she usually just soaks her feet and gets them dried off. This was the first time the lady painted her toes too. This is not something she'll get often, but its fun every once in a while.
We also decided it was close enough to Halloween to wear the seasonal clothing. Don't worry, we didn't wear matching outfits. Just my toes matched her outfit. She's pretty cute if I do say so!
