Halloween at the Nashville Zoo

Friday night, Jude, J.P. and I went to the Nashville Zoo for a Halloween celebration there.  It's an annual event at the Zoo and it's pretty cool, as there are stations for the kids to trick-or-treat at, along with games, hayrides, etc.

J.P. had a big time.  He particularly enjoyed climbing on the hay bales on the trailers behind the tractors that weren't being used for hayrides.  We still couldn't convince him to take an actual hayride, which is strange, because he loves tractors.  We got a kick out of watching him dance to various Halloween tunes ("Monster Mash" and "Thriller") on a makeshift dance floor, under a tent, with several other children.

He also "sang" karaoke.  Actually, after watching several a couple other children sing "Wheels on the Bus," he asked to take the stage and "sing," too.  When it was his turn, he took the microphone and stared straight ahead throughout the song, never singing a word.  Funny!  Stage fright, I guess.
