The world-renowned Great Plains Zoo here in Sioux Falls, SD sponsors an annual Halloween event called Zoo Boo. Basically, they line the zoo sidewalks with jack o'lanterns, decorate the rest of the zoo, and let all the predatory beasts out of their cages while the kids walk around in the dark. OK, so not all of what I have written here is entirely true...
The kids loved the event and were thrilled to begin their candy-getting adventures for the year. Most kids just ran from station to station to get their candy as quickly as possible. But, I am proud to say that despite his sugar-crazed excitement about the treats, my Michael still found time for the animals, occasionally shouting out a particular greeting: "Hello, Guanacos!" "Where are you, Wallaby?"
