A few of the volunteers at the zoo's kid-friendly Halloween event. I love working with these people!

Superman and Supergirl picked out their own costumes. Our neighbor kid, Seth, is the creepy-looking one.

 

Scovill Zoo, Decatur, Illinois.

A lot of the ride layout is visible, and you can see our track platform technique of lining up a bunch of forklift pallets and screwing the track and treads onto it. It is interesting how much the rubber drive wheels wear out the pressure treated wood. Especially on the turns.

 

Tim must have been helping me drag pallets around or something that day.

Watching a man put fire in his mouth.

We started with the loading platform which was a little hard on the power relays since it started two cars (one loaded) on a hill. Brian extended a deck for boarding and disembarking riders.

Jello the Black Rhino during the Boo at the Zoo celebration at Potter Park Zoo.

We figured he was inspired to dress up too after seeing all the kids in their costumes...

The woman dressed as a princess is actually a staff member.

I forgot what he said was in the vials but it was something sinister!

This zoo staff member was looking dapper in his Jack-o-Lantern suit.

Meeko, the red panda, checks his bucket from the program, "Boo at the Zoo," to see what special food has come his way.

This was used as more of a barricade. I like the giant smile.

Volunteering at the zoos are part of my strategy for self-care. In the past few years, I've developed friendships with some of the staff. Sometimes, it feels good to be known in a way that's different than the role of my profession.

It was an absolutely gorgeous sunny day for Boo at the Zoo. End of our Indian Summer.

And the zoo was incredibly crowded.

No parking close by. We parked on 42nd Avenue, about 7 blocks away.

 

I guess if you're a kid under 7 (or the parent of/know someone under 7), you'd know what our Halloween costumes are this year.

This needs a caption, but I haven't thought of one.
